Now that I'm back from my (unduly harsh) suspension I wanted to check
Going for my next upgrade as I have a bit of spare cash this month and wanted to know about this system.

• Intel® Core™ i5-2500K (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
• 4GB Mushkin Silverline #996768 (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24
• MSI P67A-G45 Intel P67 (REV B3) Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard
• Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 High Performance CPU Cooler
• Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

I can get this for about £320-£330 (but not from OCUk :(), is this a good deal? Going from the spoec in my sig, I have everything else including Windows 7 to install.

Just done a quick spec and comes to 320 with free delivery and the Gelid cooler or cheaper with Coolermaster.

Edit: Beaton!
 
I'm not sure getting Op Flashpoint: RR is a value added extra or not!

I'm so tempted, but also don't really want to do the whole windows install, dozens of updates and get my PC just how I like it again!

Worth speccing for 8GB? I don't really do much, mostly browsing, watch some Sky Player and games, but memory is so cheap at the moment I wonder if it'll get any cheaper? only adds about £30 onto the price to take 2x 4GB sticks.

Seeing as you didn't edit your post - I assume you must have either made up the spec and copied Stulid... or I could be completely wrong.

When you post you have a minute or two before the "Edit" screen shows up, so one can edit there post and nothing is visible hence the Ninja Edit.

Edit see above post!!

Decided against the 8GB Ram, I doubt anything I do will get anywhere close to utilising it all and if i do need to upgrade it might be even cheaper.
