Making my first computer....

[BasT]

Ok techy birds, it time basty got a new computer.

Need to know:
Best Place to buy euro compatible parts (cheapest website ect.)
List of what i need to make a computer ( i know all the major parts but its the minor parts i dont think i know)
And what should i start off buying.

I'm planning on ordering the parts over time, but i got round €800 (thats euro birds) to start off with.

Also as a final question, what parts can i salvage other then the power cable from a computer from 98. hehe
