Hit depression with my work PC

My work PC is a complete pile off poo poo and I am sick of it

Overclocking - CPU
1 Extreme 4.2GHz - Tuned to absolute safe maximum - Performance prioritised over acoustics.

CPU
1 Intel Core i5 4670K, Haswell, 3.4GHz, Quad Core, 6MB Cache

CPU Coolers
1 Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro V2

Motherboard - Intel Z87 Chipset
1 Asus Z87-K, Intel Z87 Chipset

Memory - DDR3
2 - 8GB Total (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance LP, 1600MHz

Is this bundle any good for a work computer? It's £380..

I also have a spare 4870x2 hanging around at home so will just chuck that in along with an 128gb SSD.

I want it to be overkill for my work pc.

You'll need to let us know what the PSU too.. I wouldn't risk that kit with a 'junk' PSU..

Its a corsair 650w I think.

I just do word, surfing, a lot of tabs at once etc

That's Major Overkill just for word and surfing the net LOL
Try just adding an SSD and some extra ram to your current PC...

Would help to know your work pc current spec, to see if there is an issue or your nuts!

for £380 that is a great deal, though I agree that is a huge overkill, you sure all those specs wont get wasted on just surfing and word documents?
