Where can I cut costs?

(Sorry for screenshot)
I'll be ordering from hardwareversand.de and would like to save ~50-100 euro more on that build. I'm living in IRELAND so don't post US stores... Amazon.co.uk or previously mentioned site ONLY.

Possibly cheaper RAM, maybe a PSU that's on sale, a cheaper case. That being said you don't want a PSU that is too cheap

For starters get this psu for 20 euro cheaper. Plus it has 50 more watt and is better quality than the corsairs cx series psu's.

This ram ok? 10 euro cheaper.

Edit: That psu is €10 more expensive.

Yes that RAM is equal with the last

Not sure if this works for you ... but I believe ScanUK has 2-day shipping to Ireland for £15.

I point that out because the HD7950 is as low as £173.98 inc VAT, and I suspect your other components would likely be less expensive, too.

Nothing else is cheaper to justify getting the gpu 15 euro cheaper, but thanks for the help anyway!

Wisecracker · Oct 8, 2013

Yup ... it was really close. I was using .85 (not sure how current that is) but the 2-day shipping looked to be a winner, and the price difference on the HD7950 covered most of that.

I think I've decided to go with a 7870 for €60 less as it's the most overkill (imo) part. I was using 1.2 rate, which was the same really. Real price would be 207 euro, as of today's rate.
