Parts:

Motherboard:
MSI P45 Neo3-FR -93€

(not sure about that pick)

HDD:
Samsung SpinPoint F1 320GB -52€

To the OP you may want an Aftermarket cpu cooler such as the Antec freezer 7 pro or thermal take ultra 120 or Core contact freezer.

N.b you also need an OS and a case just incase you have forgotten

 

[jester070993]

he has a case

 

[veg1992]

I assumed he already has an OS to use.. but probably a good idea to remind him

 

[Michael_R.]

I´m german, but that´s no problem, we have something comparable to newegg.

I have a OS as well

but thank you guys =)

Oh its a Euro sign.. fail for me.. I confused the huge curve between the two...
