Hello, im away to make the jump from my phenom 965 to intel i5 and need a little help. First of all should I go 2500k or 3570k? Im looking to overclock aswell so im looking to get a suitable air cooler and a good motherboard with an option to crossfire, sli in the future. Im looking to spend £350-£400 maximum. Thanks in advance.

Can you list everything you currently have.
What do you need? CPU+board+ram etc?

Is that RAM the low profile version or the Vengeance RAM with tall spiky heatsinks?
What case do you have?
Are all your drives SATA? as I notice the Asus AMD board has a IDE connector.

Its the high profile spiky ones (didnt realise how tall they were til' I recieved them) but im willing to throw them in with the cpu/mobo im selling for a lower profile variant and the mobo is sata, it has an ide connector tho.
