    Ok, so from looking at previous suggestions, I've come up with the following.

    Does this make sense?

    Sorry - couldn't manage links and table...


    Item Price
    MSI B85-G41 PC Mate, ATX, Sockel 1150 68.02
    Samsung SH-224DB schwarz 16.13
    WD Blue 1TB 6Gb's 52.43
    Corsair CX Series Modular CX430M, 430W 44.73
    MSI R7870-2GD5T/OC, 2048MB DDR5, PCI-Express 158
    Intel Core i5-4430 Box, LGA1150 158.45
    3R Systems Design Gehäuse R480 Schwarz 26.49
    524.25

    That looks good but it's missing ram. You can use http://geizhals.de/ to get a discount on hte order as well if you search for each part and select hwvs from the list of sellers. I'll stick a build up for you in a bit.
