It depends on what year mate - TBH the most important park of the equipment you should be considering is your goggles ! find something that fits your face as every brand fits differently, Go to a local shop and try some on ! Dont compensate googles for something like a hopper........Bottle wish GI do a nice bottle but you wont find any 2nd hand yet but Guerilla bottles are great i had no problems with mine. Just as someone has a problem dont be put off look at how many they sell !
No i wont be doing that,i like my face and wanna keep it in 1 piece!
Ive not had chance to have a look at prices of markers yet you see!
So do all you guys play tournements?

Agreed with above, get a good mask sorted first as if you can't see or it's uncomfortable then you won't have a good day paintballing. Next would get a rota as they are one of the best hoppers around and will last you ages. Bottle is up to you but a second hand carbon fibre one is always a good shout which can go to 4500psi. Just be aware of born and death dates. Most bottles last 15 years and need a test every 5 years (tests cost from £17.50 to £40 depending on where you go) as for regs I think ninja are one of the best around but when starting off etc any reg that works will be fine 
What are you thinking of playing, woods or tourney? Either way For a newbie I would suggest a planet eclipse etek. Currently on etek 4 so you can pick the older models up pretty cheap, for example i just sold an etek 3 for 200, bar a few differences they are almost an ego and really simple for you to maintain yourself..
Bit of both i think,gonna start in woods etc then maybe save up some £££ and enter a few tourneys!
Yeh thats the price range im looking at! How old is the 3? Last years model?

You can pick up some good deals on eteks and the etek4 are a very nice marker - Get yourself a bottle with a few years test left and hopper wise its your call
Dye Rotor - £80-95
Virtue Spire - £100+
Prophecy - £50+
All 3 will do you well everyone will have there own preferences so take it all with a pinch of salt - you tube videos on any hopper and go with what you want mate,
