Thats a lot of money, this is just as fast,

The Motherboard does SLI/Crossfire at 8X/8X, and the price of this bundle is only around £20 more than buying the individual parts and trying to overclock yourself.

What's the main use of the PC? You will only make proper use of the 2600k if you use apps which take advantage of it's hyperthreading, so video/image/sound editing, etc. If it's a gaming rig stick with the 2500k, as stulid suggested. Use the saved money towards a better graphics card

general use and gaming mate. Ive already got a 5870 which is still going pretty strong fro me at the moment...so no need to upgrade graphics yet.

OK..i think ill go with the 2500 bundle..lokks pretty good...and ill spend the extra penies on a new sound card.

One thing...I have an old Enermax Liberty 620W power supply. Will this do for now with this bundle????
Ordering soon..so qhick answr would be good if anyone knows.

Cheers
