Was wondering if you guys could help me. I've sold my old motherboard, cpu and ram, so it's time to buy some new bits.

Currently have an ATI Radeon 4870x2 I was hoping would last me at least another year or so, and a Corsair HX620 PSU, so I'm looking for a Motherboard, CPU, RAM and Heatsink for about the £350 to £400 mark. If the option to overclock is there, then I would be willing to do this to give me a performance boost. My old setup was an E6750(2.6ghz) clocked at 3.6ghz so I'm pretty accustomed to overclocking.

Any suggestion?

Cheers.

Thanks chaps. I thought the I5 would be the way to go.

Thanks.

Not going down the watercooling road again for a while, just sold all my old water cooling gear. My case isn't really setup for watercooling (1st gen CM690) so just want air coolers again. I know this is a cheapskatey question, but is the ASUS Axe any good?

Would I see much of a performance increase if I replaced the GPU?

I currently ha ve a 4870x2
