Thanks for the advise guys. Since I'm not building the PC myself, I'd rather try and get all the parts from the same place, so my options therefore are: 128 GB SSD Toshiba HG5d 440MB/s (100€) 128 GB SSD Adata Premier Pro SP900 520MB/s (105€ same as the 120GB 840) 250 GB SSD Samsung 840 250MB/s (this one goes a little over budget, but if there will be a truly greater difference, from what u say there probably won't, I'll get it) (160€) No EVO...

So, I think I’m almost there. The system: · Intel® Core i7-4770K, 4x 3500 MHz · MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket 1150, Intel Z87 Express Chipset · 16384 MB DDR3-RAM (I figured I’d get only 16gb RAM for now and since the Mainboard supports up to 64, I will later get more RAM). Do u think that’s ok? · 1000 GB, Seagate®/Toshiba/WD®, SATA · 120 GB SSD Samsung 840 (530 MB/s | 130 MB/s) · ASUS GTX760 DC2OC-2GD5 DirectCU II, 2x DVI, HDMI, DP · 600 Watt beQuiet! PSU, 80 PLUS Silver · 60cm (24") TFT 1920x1080, ASUS VS247H-P, VGA, DVI, HDMI · Windows 7 Professional SP1 64Bit + Installation · 24x Samsung Multiformat DVD-Burner I think I would at some point overclock it. Other PSU options are 620W Antec high current gamer 80Plus bronze, and 630W Thermaltake 80Plus. But both throw me a little over budget. So what do u think, should I order??? P.s. I'm not in Greece either, been living for the last 2 years in Berlin. Thanks again!

Seuxaristw polu dimitri! So... Here is the revised setup: CPU: IIntel® Core i7-4770K, 4x 3500 MHz CPU Cooler: Silent-Socket Cooler 1155/1150 MB: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket 1150, Intel Z87 Express Chipset RAM: 32768 MB DDR3-RAM, 1600 MHz 1000 GB, Seagate®/Toshiba/WD®, SATA GPU: ASUS GTX760 DC2OC-2GD5 DirectCU II, 2x DVI, HDMI, DP Power Supply: 600 Watt beQuiet!

Thanks to all for the quick responses, kalispera Dimitri. So... I checked out the CPU comparison link and made some adjustments. CPU: Intel® Core i7-4770, 4x 3400 MHz (Note that it is not the 4770K, but I compared that too and there is no difference!?) Is it important? MSI B85M-G43, Socket 1150, Intel B85 Chipset and also added some more HD space 2000 GB, Seagate®/Toshiba/WD®, SATA This comes up to around 1,490€ (My budget is 1,5) If I choose the 4770K, the price goes up almost 100€, (probably because of the base pack/ configuration?) And I would have to lose some things, like only one HDD and no keyboard/mouse... Dimitris, I can't seem to understand why bigger isn't better regarding the power supply. it's not a big money difference, why not get the 800 one? Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the info Andrew. I'm not too hung up on the monitor actually, since I have in mind at some point to acquire a second one and have a dual monitor setup. (for that one I will take your advice in account) Would you be so kind as to elaborate on the prev. vs new generation thing you said? maybe a link? thanks again!

Hi guys, although I have already found quite a few threads regarding this topic and am reading through them for info, I thought I'd post my question anyway since I haven't posted in a long time. I'm in the process of searching to buy a new PC desktop, which will be used for more or less everything. (3d, animation, modeling, RT, gaming...etc.) I've put together the following pieces (which reaches my exact budget) and would like to hear some feedback and/or suggestions.

Just checked out your website as well. Stunning work my friend! To tell you the truth, you have the best work I've seen in Greece. And also a cool site:P Keep it up my friend! P.s. Still can't believe the plants and scenery are 3d! Lol. Χαιρετίσματα, Νικήτας

This is absolutely amazing! Bravo, keep up the good work, it is a pleasure.

for a first, this is great! Really nothing to say!

Thank you guys, I will try and fix it up a bit and also fix the textures with some detail!

Studio/Institution: Vrotsos Architecture Genre: Residential Exterior Software: 3Ds Max - V-Ray - PS Website: http://www.vrotsos.gr Description: Hi guys, haven't had time lately to share anything or generally browse cause I've been very busy lately, I guess that's good! Anyway, here's one of my latest works (there are more views, but haven't quite finished them yet). This house already exists, just an exterior makeover! Any help on making it look better would be appreciated, either on pre work, or post. Thanks!

Excellent indeed! Really nice!

Honestly, damn awesome! Congrats friend! Just curious, how long have you been working on this?

Many thanks guys, solved it by clamping it, but have to look into .exr and this since I am not familiar with it. Also heard somewhere about clamping renders LWF useless, or something like that! Have to do more research, anyway thanks again!

Okay I'll give it a try, thanks! Have a nice weekend!
