Looking to get the following for a mate

- CPU
- Mobo
- Memory (8gb, maybe 16gb)
- CPU cooler

The rest of his rig is fine, PSU, SSD and case all modern, he’scoming from a intel quad core, so keen to stay with intel. Any advice or combo’s welcome under £500
 
For the CPU, RAM and Cooler:

1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £189.95
1 x Corsair Hydro H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366/LGA2011/AM2/AM3) (CWCH100) £84.98

I dont really know much about motherboards so I would get someone elses advice on that.
