so i'm gonna buy a new crankset soon...which one should i buy? searching for something around 350 euros...
I don't want a XTR Crankset, i know they're light but they're just to flashy for me (no offense to people who have it) i was thinking about a Deus XC? light and strong? which one should i buy?
Which Crankset?

no offense taken 
.. the xtr cranks came stock on my bike..
the dues are a MUCH better deal than the xtr. only ~20g heavier (820 compared to 800), and, in my opinion, more bling bling facotr than the xtr. theyre very good cranks, my teammate has them, and i cant tell a difference in stiffness between them and my xtr's.
another option is trutaviv stylo teams. they arent the 2piece like xtr or dues, but theyre 624 w/ rings, w/o bottom bracket, so with a nice 200g bb, theyre almost the same weight as the dues xc's. theyre on sale at jensonusa.com for $110 right now.
and a third option is fsa. beautiful carbon fibre cranks, really light, strong, stiff and not too expensive. take that klein bontrager! (i think that was who said strong, light, cheap - pick two) the carbon pro or kforce mega exo will both end up being slightly under 800g, the lightest off all of those, but also slightly more expensive.
hope that helps!

They've got some nice cranks in the works. Rings are really nice too and pair well with FSA or XTR cranks for the ultimate shifting. The 4 and 5 bolt rings aren't yet up on their site but they are available if you email them.

The things you have yet to mention are:
your weight?
intended use? (XC, downhill, just to take a picture?)
buying them in the US / Europe / UK?
Do you already have a BB? Square Taper / Octalink / etc?
Is your main target - weight? durability? stiffness? slick shifting chainrings?
