    Hi guys my friend recommended HVS to me recently and after having a look through this board i decided to get my next pc from them . But while i have upgraded everything except the motherboard on my older pcs i have never built on from scratch so i need some advice about what to buy and parts compatibility . This is going to be a budget build since i only have around 500-600 euro to spend . I'll mostly be using this pc for collage and some graphics rendering using DAZ 3D (One of mine http://mememo.deviantart.com/art/darth-ahsoka-198229309 ) it will not be used for gaming oh and i'll be dropping in a 9800gt graphics card so i dont need a good card only something that i can put in my old pc that im giving to my cousin .

    Here is what i have i have so far but i would appreciate any advice that you all can give me . Thanks

    Would recommend this set alot more, better HDD, GPU, Cheaper CPU wich is just as good with overclocking ;), cheaper mobo with usb3 and a cpu cooler wich your years will thank you for:

    Thanks for the reply I'll take your advice on the Mobo , fan ,graphics card and hdd but the 955 is only 7 euro more so would it not be better than the 945 as for the ram i did not see that they had ripjaw for only 2 euro more would these be better http://www4.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=29673&lb . As for the http://www4.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=29673&lb i live in a flat at the moment so the computer will be going in my room and will be left on overnight when doing graphic renders they can take 12hr + sometimes >_< so is there a way to turn off the LEDs on the they may look cool but i dont think they would be much fun when trying to sleep :o . Which is why i chose http://www4.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=31270&agid=1627

    The CPU and RAM will be better, of couse, if you are willing to spend the extra €14 or so.
    That PSU is lower quality. One option would be to swap the fan. Alternatively, you'll need to spend more for one that we know is of good quality. The VX450 is nearly €60. There's also the antec basiqs which wouldn't be my first choice but fairly reliable.

    If you're not using it for gaming and it looks like DAZ 3D does not make use of the GPU, maybe consider an 880G or 890GX board with strong onboard graphics and omit the GPU.

    Edit: E.g, 880 Extreme 3.

    Edit 2: HWV has the wrong specs for that board.

    Thanks for all the info guys Monotype i switched the in the 880 Extreme 3 but would the Xigmatek GO GREEN Series PSU 80plus - 400 Watt be an ok PSU for this build as its meant to be almost silent and is a little cheaper than the VX450

    So here is the final specs of the PC before i order if anyone else has some advice . Oh and i ended up with 2 graphics cards for this pc a PYN 9800gt and a sapphire hd5670 which would be better
