    1. What is your budget? €500

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? CAD/3D Rendering

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? HD/Graphics Card/PSU/CD

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? no

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes

    8. How can you pay? credit card

    9. When are you purchasing? ASAP

    I need a bit of help choosing a Motherboard, Processor, RAM and any necessary cooling bits & pieces. This is for work and the budget is very tight so €500 is the absolute max. Must be from an Irish site as I need all the bits by Tuesday morning!

    Thanks in advance

    Is that 500 just for the mobo, CPU and RAM? If you have a VAT number handy you then you can squeeze in an i7-3770k build for €472.50 (ex vat) on http://www.dabs4work.ie.

    Item|Price
    Intel Core i7-3770K S1155 3.5GHz 8MB|€247.80
    ASRock Z77 Pro 4 S1155 Intel Z77 DDR6 ATX|€84.42
    Noctua Dual Radiator and Fan CPU Cooler Multi-Socket|€63.33
    Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL11 XMS3 Performance Desktop Memory Kit|€70.72
    Shipping|€6.23
    Total|€472.50

    EDIT: Apologies my lack of accounting knowledge is clearly on show here, I was unaware that you have to charge VAT at source within the same country so it would be €581.15 upfront with a VAT invoice issued.

    Komplett ship pallets from Holland daily so they are definitely not a runner as it would only arrive in there warehouse late Tuesday morning.

    Cheers for that, turns out dabs expected delivery wouldnt be until Monday week though.


    I've put together a cart on pixmania, slightly over budget with delivery but I'll have it by Wednesday at the latest. (Also decided a better case than the one I have at the moment would be no harm)


    KINGSTON HyperX blu Black Series - PC Memory - 16 GB...

    COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO Processor Cooler...

    INTEL Core i7 Ivy Bridge 3770K - 3.5 GHz - 8 MB L3...

    ASUS P8Z77-V LX2 - Socket 1155 - Chipset Z77 - ATX

    ZALMAN Z9-U3 PC Tower Case

    Inc. VAT
    Total: € 612 inc delivery & VAT

    Any taught's would be really appreciated :)
