Hi,
Looking for some help pls
Thinking of buying a bundle as part of an upgrade of my existing system but tbh I am not sure what to go for. Initially I have picked out 2 that I think would be a good purchase for me but am not sure what the more expensive bundle offers over the cheaper one. I know a little bit about pc's but I guess have never understood the benefits of a more expensive motherboard and cpu cooler (which is basically afaik the difference between these two bundles plus of course the extra ram). Could someone please give me an idea of what I would be gaining with the more expensive system? I realise that the more expensive bundle will probably allow me to overclock the cpu a little more, but I am not sure if that is worth the extra cash?
I will be mainly gaming, web browsing, watching vids etc on the pc and I am trying to strike a balance between buying something that will last me for a while but doesn't contain features I am unlikely to need or use, if that makes sense.
I have bought individual components in the past but always struggle to buy ones that fit together well. In so far as not having anything that bottlenecks another component and holds it back. Which is why I thought a bundle would be the way to go. Also not entirely sure to go AMD or Intel, there seems to be a lot of conflicting ideas on the subject. I currently have an AMD setup so initially looked at those.
Anyway to begin with these are the two bundles I am looking at.

Thanks a lot for any help or advice you can give me. Sorry I know this is a bit of a waffle but its nearly 5am and my brain is still under the duvet..
