After ~6 months of shopping around for bargain parts, I finally have my XC racer up and running:
Frame Whyte 19 Carbon (M)
Fork Rockshox SID race
Headset FSA integrated
Front wheel Mavic SLR
Rear wheel Mavic SLR
Tyres Continental Mountain King UST
Shifters SRAM X-0
Front derailleur Shmano XT
Rear derailleur SRAM X-0
Cassette Shmano XT
Chain SRAM hollowpin
Crankset FSA K-Force light BB30
Bottom bracket FSA ceramic BB30
Seatpost Race Face Evolve XC
Saddle Selle italia SL XC flow
Stem Race Face Evolve XC
Bar FSA carbon-pro flat
Grips Peaty lock-on
Brakes Magura marta SL
Brake rotors Marta SL 180/160
Pedals Crank Bro's eggbeater C
9.047kg with the Mountain King UST tyres (700g a piece + sealant)... should be sub 9kg when I sort out some decent race tyres.

Wow, lovely. I'd love one of those Whtye frames, but they don't do them large enough for me.

Bargain parts? You've got a funny idea of what a bargain is. That's an amazingly nice build but I couldn't ride it without worrying about snapping with my pie loaded heft. I'm sure it's strong enough but I like something a bit more weighty and less agile.
