With our overclocked systems we overclock the system for you and the BIOS is all sorted by ourselves. We leave the memory and the processor in the motherboard, so when you receive this, you need to install into your case and attach the cooler and the other hardware parts you have to go with it.

Looks like your sorted - all the tricky bits been taken care of.
Although, fitting the motherboard into the case is sometimes fiddley - just take your time and have an extra pair of hands near by if it's your first time.
All the bundles have coolers which are sufficient for the applied OC. I've been running an i7 920 4GHz bundle for 2.5 years with very few issues.
just 1 more qustion b4 i buy i bought "Titan Fusion" AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 3.00GHz DDR2 System from you 2yrs ago and the case is a cooler master but i dont know what model the case is so i dont know if the parts will fit in the case
That was a good guess by me. 
It is the Coolermaster 335:

A lot of the bundles there will fit, however it depends on which one you are looking at, which bundle were you specifically looking into?

Ideally you want to get a 2500K - and the cheapest one i can see is the Krypton Z68 590i Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.40GHz Overclocked Bundle @ £335 (5UB correct me if there are cheaper 2500K bundles).
The extra £5 would be worth it.
Have you considered buying the parts separately - we would happily talk you through the build and the clocking process and you would get to save a few pounds?
It's not as scarey as it sounds connecting a HS to a CPU - and a moderate clock (4.4GHz) with a 2500K is usually very straight forward.
EDIT: But peace of mind and a guaranteed clock is also a worth the money if needed - just remmeber not to update the BIOS if you get the bundle.

Fair enough, you can't put a price on peace of mind and less hassle (although OcUK would do it - i'm just a forum dweller).
It will run all the latest cards - you may want to consider upping the memory to 8Gb if you can afford it (it's not necessary) but it would be adventageous ot have 2 x 4Gb now rather than updating to 4 x 2Gb in the future (if you plan on keeping the system for a long time).
However, as you're at your budget max this may not be an option - so don't feel it's a necessity.
