CPU/GPU upgrade.

I was set on getting an i5-2500k/C45 for about £275 but now im thinking it would be more of an upgrade to go i5-760 (£120) keep my current mobo (GA-H55M-UD2H) and upgrade my graphics card to an 5870 (£145) for £265. Prices in brackets are cheapest i've found and are new.

Cheers for the advice Plec. I've also seen a few people saying an H55 mobo wont overclock an 760 well.

Here's a review of your MB and included in the review it clocks an i750 - link.

Ahh sweet, cheers. Im guessing there isnt much in it between the 560/5870?

I've just ordered the i5-760 for £120, now for a card in the £150 range.
