My m8 has asked me to spec him up a new system..
hes restricted to a max 300 quid for mobo,cpu and ram
ive speced a I3 bundle... any opinions ???

Personally i dont know jack about the new I3's but they seem to be in the right price bracket.

Sry should have said ..
hes already got the rest of the system
more of an upgrade than a totally new system ..

So his gpu is pci express .. just the rest thats needed !!

Looks like I3 4TW then

Mmmm the I5 package looks nice but ive also been looking at the I3 OC bundle,

Which would be the best for performance / future proof ?
