My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Asus H81M-PLUS Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard= £41.99
1 x SuperFlower FX 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - Black= £49.99
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 380 Dual-X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11242-02-20G)= £128.99

Total: £388.06
(includes shipping: £11.10)

Thats £376 with free delivery.

The board only has two RAM slots, if your RAM is 4x4Gb then your only using 8GB.

thanks very much for that, so i could just get 2x8gb later then, so would be ok as it sounds like a good setup which i should be able to order friday

thanks

curious! if i had an extra £50 what other Motherboard would you of said?

Surely an extra £50 would get you an i5 4690K and a 4GB R9380 instead?

Or just over £50 actually.

If he was going for a 4690k surely then its worth spending more money on a z97 board to take advantage off the cpu.

this is more or less the upgrade path I went with from my 8350.
I also reused my 16gb ram and ssd and hardrive and bluray drive.
just bought the same bundle and then bought a 970 im not disappointed..
get a good cooler on there and youll be able to get a wee overclock going on.
