Morning Nick,

Is it an ATX case? And what case is it?

:)

If it is ATX

YOUR BASKET
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £119.99
1 x Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £89.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38GM1600HC11DC01) £53.99
1 x Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler £26.99
Total : £300.55 (includes shipping : £8.00).



I pushed it £20 but its a great bundle.. CAN be overclocked in the future if you/he wants too.

Both board and CPU have gone on offer since this morning.

The 8350 is just a higher factory clocked version of the 8320, for regular overclocks up to about 4.5GHz it makes no difference.
