    I don't see anyway you could lower the cost and still be equal to their build.

    The only thing I can see to save you money without sacrificing build strength is the case and at most that's only gonna save you about €50.

    its cheaper in the US cause there's no VAT in those prices which you would have to add on and also you could get stung with import duties from customs. HWVS is your best bet for a complete build

    Yeah, I've been following that site for 2 or 3 months now, it's got a new build every month in 4/5 price ranges. Great website.

    Any suggestions for a better priced case?

    I was under the impression that we (in Ireland) don't have to pay tax on anything bought from the HWVS website?

    we dont have to pay any additional tax from eu countries but the prices already include german tax which is 10% less than us (i think)

    Yeah thanks, I thought I read that.

    I'm thinking of spending an extra tenner on the Sapphire 7850: http://www1.hardwareversand.de/2048+MB/57699/Sapphire+HD+7850+2GB+GDDR5+PCI-Express.article
    Instead of the Powercolour one: http://www1.hardwareversand.de/2048+MB/57153/Powercolor+HD7850+2GB+GDDR5.article

    I've read it's a better brand and I see it has an extra fan, any thoughts on this?
