+ bout 60€ ontop of that for +shipping+credit charge+assembly service

Few final points

*They also offer an assembly fee for super cheap (€30) so I may well go with that.

*Have a feeling the site may only let you slap parts together that actually go together but not entirely sure Pcpart picker didnt find any compatibility issues but I just wanna make sure does everything fit?

*pc part picker gave me a wattage of 240 should how accurate is that generally?

That all looks good to me anyway. PC Part Picker offers an assembly service? The wattage looks accurate. The 950 uses barely any power. A 960 might be better suited to your needs btw if it is within your budget. Be careful of anything coming from HardwareVersand (if they are even a supplier on that site).

Thanks for the feedback I've been going out of mind tryna cross check things. The assembly is offered by HardwareVersand why the need for caution?

They're a bunch of ****es, forced all sales through Bank Transfer before they went into liquidation so they could use peoples money to pay debts, with no plan of sending the parts.

I'd drop to an i5 4460, a H81M board and DDR3 RAM.

You'll save about €100, a big haul towards an R9 380, which is stronger than the 950. There's no performance loss with the older chip

Tbh I'd pair anything weaker than a 380/960 inclusive with an i3 but that's just me and my needs.

Yeah I've heard this and its pretty scummy but as careless as it seems it would seem that almost every fair priced site for parts is a calculated risk in some form Id like to think that history wouldn't repeat just as I'm placing my order yano? they are still a somewhat respected legal company right?

A few here have ordered from them since no issue, they're trading again fine, I wouldn't say respected :pac:

Cant seem to get the option for paypal though seems to just happen to people at random perhaps your basket needs to be a certain amount I dont know??

Walk away from HWS while you can.
For the small savings you will have no customer service or comeback if they go tits up again. Yes you can pay by paypal now but if they go and you have an issue with an item it will be all the harder to get it sorted.
Look at computer universe or the other sites or even amazon for the parts. Some of the amazon eu sites have offers on items. Use curiua.com or geizhals.com to compare offers.
I was lucky when I bought with HWS, I got all my bits but when I RMA'd a mobo they messed me about and in the end send me back the same defective board again.

If they are not allowing paypal or credit card , they might be about to go boom again and it could be a repeat attempt to take folks money and keep it to pay back debts.

All this, and maybe consider dropping the PSU to 500W if it would save you a meaningful amount of money.

Sorry lads stupid question just to clarify how protected am i using my visa debit in comparsion to paypal? Because it seems to decide at what seems like random who can use paypal and who can't and I fall into the latter : /
