Whats your budget ?

around 1,200 EURO

You can get a 550W PSU and still be good

Grab a CPU cooler: Hyper 212 Evo

Up the GPU as much as possible

any way to cut costs while still maintaining preformance?

I would ask your friends to see if they got an extra keyboard and mouse laying around, get new ones later down the line. You may want to think about getting an AMD build if your budget is pushing the limit. I wouldnt waste money on a wireless adapter. If your not planning on OC'ing switch to a 3450 and a H77 motherboard that will save a lot.

I live in Ireland and I'm ordering from a UK site called Dabs.co.uk

Try this if it is cheaper?

Ask them if they ship to Ireland. I think they will but better ask to make sure

Yes they do
Cost ~19€
On the internet you can get a 10€ coupon for free if your purchase is higher then 500€ or so...

By going through the website "Geizhals.de" (type your hardware for example "ASUS GTX660-DC2O-2GD5", select gpu, click the hardwareversand logo, now you have the option to buy it for 180€ instead of 198€.) do this with every part and u can save ~10%
