How about shopping around to save a little money?
Here is a non overclocked option.
Basically Stulids build with a non "K" chip and a h67 board.
If your not overclocking the need for another cooler is minimal unless you want to reduce noise.

- In front of my monitor
Buy cheap buy twice. Save up another £100 or so and get MORE POWER lol. Seriously though, you really want a better monitor! After all its what you look at lol
Right, after looking at other posts on here, I've decied to go for the following setup..
I've decided not to get a new PSU for the time being as I'll be using my 2 year old Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply.
I can not to above £745 Inc VAT & Delivery beforre 12pm. (I don't want to change the monitor or Graphics Card).

you would want a P67/Z68 mobo to overclock the CPU and make use of the unlocked multiplier on the i5 2500K.
if your not overclocking then this CPU

I might OC it, depends on how well it plays games such as GTA 4 F.E.A.R.3 ect...
cheapest P67 board

might? hmmmmm
you have to make your mind up, if you go for the H61 board and wanted to OC the CPU then you would have to buy a new mobo.

If you take a 2500K, you take a P67 / Z68.
if you take a non-K CPU, you go for H67 / H61.
Mixing the two would be a waste of money really.
Its worth spending £100 on a P67 board. Asrock Z68 Pro as well. The 2500K gives 30% clock boost rather easily with a thrid party cooler, which you can slap on later.
If you just don't want the bother, get a i5-2400 and a H67 (or H61 if you want to go cheap).
