Before everything , what is you budget??????????????

Here is some tips on looking to build a computer for graphics designing and rendering:

1st: Any mid-end motherboard can help very well, unless you are looking for multi video card in one PC.

2nd: HDMI should not be in the motherboard , it should be from the graphics card

3rd: The parts that you should concentrate on the graphics card ONLY , any other part will assist.

4th: Any regular dual-core or low quad-core processors can perform very well as long as you have a good graphics card.


About the motherboard that you mentioned above:

the MSI and GigaByte are AMD based processor and the Zotac is inter based processors.

first you have to decide for which processor you are going with. To be honest with you , i dont have any experiences with AMD motherboards and processors, i will only mention some Intel based parts

here is some parts that will help

Motherboard: Asus P7P55D - EVGA 132-LF-E655-KR
CPU: Intel Quad-Core i5-750 2.66GHz

for graphics card , there is 2 types
1) regular gaming card ( EVGA 896-P3-1170-AR ) or ( XFX HD-489A-ZDFC )
2) Pro graphics cards ( PNY VCQFX580-PCIE-PB ) or ( ATI FirePro V5700 )
and im not sure if they support HDMI or not

im not sure , but the 9300 will take some memory from the RAm that you will install in the motherboard which is not recommended for nigh graphics demands.

if you are getting the quadro then just take care of the following parts:
1- good motherboard
2- good power supply ( corsair, thermaltake, coolermaster ...etc ) with at least 600 WATTS
3- Fast RAMs and recommended from Corsair XMS series
4- WD VelociRaptor HDD 300GB or 150GB 10k RPM HDD
