Ok so I'm putting together a sandy build and here's what I've got
Radon Allosaur" Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.60GHz Overclocked Bundle - Asus
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-063-OE
OCZ Vertex 2 "25nm Edition" 100GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive (OCZSSD2-2VTX100G)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-068-OC
Coolermaster HAF X Gaming Tower Case - Black (RC-942)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-203-CM

Now the things I'm struggling to decide on are a graphics card if I need a water cooling system or not, and if I should stick more RAM in. The current build is about £750 which leaves me with about £800 or so to upgrade things like the bundle I wonder if it's worth buying or getting a better mother board and overclocking my self (well getting someone to do it for me) oh and it's going to be a gaming PC

Putting more RAM is voids the warranty on the clock speed :) and for Graphics i would suggest getting a 6950 and flashing it to a 6970 O: ( not done that myself but is very popular and il dig out the thread when i stop playing fifa :D )
Throw in a normal harddrive for files unless your using an old one.

In all honestly il doubt youl need much more than what the Asus pro gives you but if your comfortable overclocking yourself then do that and you can put your 8GB of ram in no worries :)
 
Cheers for the advice I'm sure 4gb ram will do for now and I know 8 is overkill for most games anyway, and how do I go about flashing the card?
 
Im not 100% sure but I think you can contact OCers about slight changes to their bundle deals so if you wanted to have that ram instead of the 4gb ram just phone them and ask over the phone I think you will have to place the order over the phone aswell.
