If you managed to find and price all those components before I'm sure you can them again and do a price comparison with components that you couldn t afford originally. For instance you may now find you can get a better deal on a hard disk drive with a superior specification.

 

 

 

The reason no one has replied to your post is probably due to the fact that you are not asking for help per se but are trying to get someone to do the research work for you on current component prices.
