Hi there, new member here 
I am looking to upgrade my build with a bundle, price range £300-£400, although I don't mind going a little over £400 if it means I get a better deal.
I have a GTX770 which I bought back in June and my current mobo and CPU are on the crappy side so I think it's time for an upgrade.
My current CPU is an Intel Core Quad Q8400 2.66GHz and my mobo is a Gigabyte G41M-ES2L (please don’t laugh) lolz
I think they are causing a bottlenecking on my system and I am looking for some replacements to bring me up to date.
I used to game on my PS3 but have recently switched back to PC gaming as I won’t be adopting the new (unimpressive) consoles.
I was looking at these bundles as possibilities:

I have a Zalman Z11 Plus case with three intake fans and three exhaust fans so I think the temps should be okay.

I opted for red LED fans with my case as I preferd it over blue.
My PSU is a CX 600. Can I get away with that for now or will I need something with more power?
I also have 4GB of RAM so I think I need some more there too which is why I was looking at the bundles as I can just get everything in one go.
I am just wondering if anyone has any better suggestions or advice they could give on the possible choices available. Would I see a vast improvement if I were to choose one of the bundles I posted above?
Be a great help if you could…was thinking of getting all this as a nice xmas present to myself lolz
Thanks in advance.
