I have an ex VAT build with a lot of the same components, same processor, motherboard, PSU, case and SSD - probably because you were one of the ones who suggested a build for me
I compared my ex VAT shopping list between Komplett/Dabs and HWVS and buying here works out roughly €50 cheaper with coupons added0 -

You reckon that 128gb SSD is enough storage, or perhaps add one of these http://www1.hardwareversand.de/7200+RPM/53882/Seagate+Barracuda+7200+1000GB%2C+SATA+6Gb+s.article for storing other stuff?
EDIT : Sorry didn't notice you already said you had a 1tbh external storage drive, my bad.
btw, this is the current build I'm thinking of, similar to yours apart from larger ssd (which has just gone out of stock again), slightly cheaper ram and different PSU, and without your elaborate cooling setup

It's so lovely. If only it had the Vengeance C70's power/reset buttons, they're awesome650W would be fine, but if you OC the CPU and/or both GPU's you won't be long running out of juice:)
BTW deadly case, great cable management.
As for 750W PSU, same model or is there better out there?0 -

The TX750 isn't as cheap as some alternatives but is one of the best 750W PSUs around. It's also modular. A lot of the competition is cheaper, but this PSU will last and allow huge upgrade potential.
A review from bit-tech: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/psus/2008/02/19/corsair_tx750w_psu_cmpsu-750tx/6
I'm definitely considering it for my build which is very similar to yours(ordering once Ulster Bank manages to sort themselves out...).
Are you looking for a modular or a non-modular PSU?
No preference, modular would be nice but it's not a necessity.

Out of those I'd go with the XFX750W Skylinehead, well reviewed and I think for the sake of <€20 it would be worth it. Give a look at a few online power calculators like this one to see approximately what wattage you need need. It also lets you calc. what you would need ifr you overcloceked your CPU & GPU(s).0 -

Only thing left to sort out seems to be the keyboard, is it German layout on Amazon or not?
Yeah my build is near enough working out the exact same as yours now, I think I'll take the easy way out and just copy you
Just two things,
is the 600t worth the extra 30 quid?
Is the Asus GTX 670 DirectCU II Top worth the extra 40 quid?0 -

600T is a little bigger, some versions have a side window, and unlike the 500R the fan LEDs can't be turned off. It's personal preference, I'd take the 600T but it's a little too much and the 500R is lovely too.
As for the Asus, it's a little better than the Windforce but not 40 quid better. So no from me.0 -

Talking to Amazon there, apparently no UK-layout MK-50.
They have it for €80 on play.com, but a) are they reliable these days and b) is it going to be the same issue?
Any recommendations on similarly priced alternatives are welcome, want this out of the way tomorrow.0 -

Ok, so trying to get my head around this. No VAT is paid initially (or at all, eventually), am I right here? I'm horrible with taxesIt is only deducted at source-if you don't have a Vat number, but if they can claim it back they will be giving the 23% back to you anyway?
Once you are Vat registered and you buy from any Vat registered EU company, you should not have to pay Vat. Best ring them before putting on your order to confirm (Just checked with my mate who is an accountant & his company deal with French/Dutch companies).
Edit:
Give a look here;
I am a VAT registered person. Can I buy goods VAT free from a business in another Member State of the E.U.?
Yes, once the goods are purchased for the purposes of your business. The purchase of goods from a person in another E.U. Member State is called, in VAT terminology, an 'intra-Community acquisition' of the goods. The sale of goods to a VAT registered person in another Member State is called an 'intra-Community supply'. The procedures to be followed are set out below:
You must quote your VAT number to the supplier. The supply will then be zero-rated in the Member State of dispatch as an E.U. intra-Community supply.
You (the taxable customer) become liable for VAT on the acquisition of the goods in this State. You must account for VAT on the goods at the rate that would apply to the supply of those goods in Ireland.
To do this, you declare a liability for VAT in your VAT3 return form in the T1 box.
If you are entitled to full deductibility (input credit), the VAT payable on the intra-Community acquisition is deducted in the same VAT period at T2 on the VAT3, thus effectively cancelling out the VAT liability. If you are not entitled to deductibility (e.g. flat-rate farmer, State body) you put a zero in the T2 box. If you are entitled to partial deductibility, and the good represents a 'dual-use input', you may claim the appropriate percentage of the VAT, as agreed with the local Revenue District.
You must also account for VAT on any subsequent supply of the goods in the appropriate VAT return.
In addition to the accounting requirements above, the VAT 3 return requires the taxable person to declare summary VAT details. It includes a statistical box in respect of intra-Community Acquisitions that must be completed (E2).
Further information is available in the information leaflets on the subjects of E.U. Intra-Community Acquisitions and E.U. Intra-Community Supplies on the Revenue website.
Just make sure its in her company name & quote the Vat no. and you will be fine.

Just make sure its in her company name & quote the Vat no. and you will be fine.
In a nutshell yes. I was a sole trader for 5/6 years (and soon to be back at same) and my main client was uk based. I allways invoiced excluding vat as I was not uk based, I could have, but it creates hassle for both parties.
If I was doing work for A. Irish company, I had to charge vat. Basically the way it worked (few years back) is at the end of vat period you do a return, and the amount of vat you spent on work related expenses was deducted off what you charged, the balance you owed the vat man.
As above, ask the person with the vat
No. to purchase using their company aloes them to claim the vat back. They might want to confirm with their accountant.
Edit:
Not sure about Hwvs, but amazon.de bump the vat from 19% to 23% when I order from here (as a civilian/not. A reg business), imagine its same for all.
@ frozen, not sure tbh, yes they definatley have to say its for the business if they are buying for the company-not sure about the rest, there is prob a limit to the amount of stuff out can write off, they might be at that already.0 -
