you don't necessary need to spend money you don't have, you can still get reliable and decent part without spending shitload, like says, a System EX/Formula hubs with Mavic Open Pro rims, shouldn´t cost the earth for instance.
keep checking the classified section for 2nd hand part, every now and the you´ll find a good deal on says, a San Marco Rolls saddle for half the RRP price for example.
time is important, if you're on a rush to build a bike within says, a month, chance are it will cost noticably more trying to get new part that are readily available rather than watching ebay/classified section for similar/same part.
