Can anyone recommend cheaper parts that are equal or better for less money as its costing quite alot ?

It is not going to cost you less but you are running real close on the power supply I would recommend somethng in the 600 watt range for that system.

If you want to spend less money on your system, build a system around an AMD processor.

Mirroring dustyjays comments, if you want to save a bit of cost look at building around an AMD processor.

Also, have a look at www.aria.co.uk, have just had a quick look at the components you have listed and every one of them is cheaper on Aria than it is on ebuyer (apart from GPU, they have no 58xx series listed at mo and didnt look at PSU). Not massively cheaper but when you are trying to cut costs every bit helps. Should also point out that I didn't take delivery into consideration. I used to use ebuyer all the time but more often than not use Aria now as I often find them cheaper, have never had a problem with them. Always shop around though, no one site is cheaper for everything all the time :D

Also, look at any specials that sites run. Aria, for example, normally has a good selection of 'super specials' where they are selling items are much better prices. If you can find things in there that will also save you money.

I also would put less that a 600w PSU in that system, its always better to aim a good amount over whats needed as that means the PSU will be under less stress = less heat = longer life etc.

i have to say, i've had trouble with ebuyer's products, and pricelover as well, everytime i've bought from them, my system somehow manages to not work. if you want a much better customer service for the prices that are on ebuyer, then go for products offered by amazon, i dont mind the price being a bit higher than aria but their customer service is speechless...

some alternative power supplies could be
OCZ modXstream 600w [modular - ONLY put in cables you need]
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/ocz-60...-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=qwiimtm&istBid=t
coolermaster GX650 [non-modular - unused cables lay about inside case]
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Mast...AKOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302863993&sr=1-1

looking at the case, there are some better ones for cheaper
NZXT beta evo http://www.cclonline.com/product/26107/NZXTBEVO-001BK/Cases/NZXT-Beta-Evo-Mid-Tower-Case/CAS5363/
NZXT gamma http://www.cclonline.com/product/41185/GAMA-001BK/Cases/NZXT-Gamma-Steel-Black-Midi-Case/CAS1219/
both have cable management holes and an access hole for motherboard backplate changing [if you wanted to put large/liquid coolers on the processor]

RAM could get for that price:
http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...y+Module+-+CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9B+?productId=44017
corsair vengeance 1600mhz 4gb
