Im going round in circles here ! theres so much to choose from and im not sure whats even best suited for me ...im putting together a watercooled build ,first one ever, and am looking for a bundle which will preferably last a few years ..its more the quietness and looks really Ive gone watercooled, so I guess I wont be overclocking ,unless its really that easy! so gaming wise I find planetside 2 takes up most of my time but would like to play more games when I find something worth while .still got gtx 660 so intend to purchase 690or something similar to add to watercooling setup..budget wise id say 500 ,for mb,cpu ram bundle tops or the wife will kill me !someone make my mind up so I can start putting this thing together ! cheers in advance Q

Good shout from idleman, Core i7 will be more than enough for your needs and be future proof for the foreseeable.

Just under £500 too which makes it quite affordable for the performance on offer.
