Uh...why are you using US pricing? Just set it to the EU country you'll be buying from.

This list doesn't make much sense. Those prices likely aren't relevant to you.

 

Strictly based on parts, it looks fine.

Used it mostly as a part lister, only fixed the total price based on local retailer (not gonna mix merchants), which comes out at about 640€.
