Here's my suggestion for €457 - I did not include a DVD burner, as these are a dime a dozen, so I'll leave that up to you

Good 6 core CPU, decent enough gfx for the price, good HDD, 4GB ram. Would be a pretty decent rendering machine.

There's no need for an aftermarket cooler in any of these builds. The stock coolers are just fine for your requirements, and will even allow for a little bit of overclocking if you wish.

Plus, the mobo gives futureproof-ability with SATA-600 and USB-3.

**oops, for some reason the PSU didn't go into the basket! Add €40 for a Corsair or Cooler Master 400W~

The build might be €50~ over budget, but with that CPU you'll be working with a good load more power.
