** GIBBO's BLACK FRIDAY DEALS ARE NOW LIVE!! **

Well I'm happy, I can build my nephew a rig with a Fury and i3 Skylake (little worried about bottlenecking there) for his budget. Another convert to the master race!
 
I would pre pay for the bundle now if you'd let me :) ...missed out last year, was the only morning in days work was busy enough for me to not check the forums for the early bird special :(

I still get flashbacks now!

I shall set the price online Monday at 10am, forums heads up so just buy online, we shall start promoting later in the week on webshop if any left.

Just make sure you order Monday when default price drops to £499.99, check the memory options on the bundle as I added a lot more options so there is a memory kit for everyone. Of course if you choose a more expensive memory kit the price will go above £500 but I have reduced the price of nearly every memory kit too so we should be cheaper than competitors on all our promotional memory kits as well, particular Avexir which is super cheap at OcUK.

SOLD! Was going to wait for the unknown of Kaby Lake but at that price it's a no brainer!

No reason to miss out.

I shall put the price live on website at 10am Monday!

You are informed, go and take a dump at work and put the order through on your mobile phone or take a smoking/tea break and call the order through.
 
I wasn't going to bother upgrading from my 4670k but that bundle is so tempting. The one game I play the most is badly cpu limited as for the most part it only uses a single core so my gpu is usually around the 66% utilisation mark, sometimes less. Is the ipc on Skylake much better than my 4670k?

Pity there's no option to deselect the cooler as I would have no need for that. As I sit here typing this my water temp is 9 degrees!!

Same here - i'd continue to use my Noctua NH-D15 as one of the ram kits you can switch to is low profile and will fit underneath the cooler, hence the AIO cooler would never get used by me.

Gibbo, any chance of being able to leave this component out for users that don't need it?

The discount on the bundle will be £150-£200 region, you can easily sell that cooler for £50 as the Asetek stuff is the absolute best there is.

A competitor just launched similar bundle at £840 with a 512GB M2 SM961 SSD, but no Asetek cooler and no guaranteed overclock. Our same bundle with the same memory Kit will cost you around £775 and have the advantage of the AIO cooling solution, fans, guaranteed overclock and is still cheaper. Though I personally feel the SM961 drives are overpriced and the Intel 600P offerings represent much better value for money at over £100 less for the same capacity.

Zero chance!

Because the cooler, guaranteed overclock, fans are all essentially free and your still getting discount on top of that. The bundle will NOT be changed in specification anyway, the parts you do not need will be easy to sell on and you will be quids in. :)

Not complaining about the price because I know it's fantastic. What would happen in the event of a warranty situation though if I sold the cooler? Would I only need to send the item that is faulty back or would you want everything? Never bought a bundle before.

No problem, thank you for taking the time to reply. Looking forward to 10am Monday and I can now spend my weekend updating my backups in preparation.

Assuming the inevitable and these all sell, how long will it take your tech boys to put the bundles together and test everything before shipping it?
