OCUK 11700K "Value" Series

Hi team,

I am looking at buying one of the OCUK advertised Value series - This one:

Value Bundle

I currently have an Asus Z170 running an i5 from about 2015, and its served my needs pretty well but its obviously a bit old now.

The the bundles they offer seem well priced, all be it the 1200 socket set.

I have a GTX970, but I plan to upgrade this once prices have come down a bit more.

Whats the consensus on these bundles? is it worth building separately or going for one of these?

Thanks,

Thanks for the replies, I’ll avoid the value bundle and go for the 12 series.

Not really got budget to upgrade GPU right now, but for a Mobo/CPU update is the best process to remove old combo, put new ones in and clean Windows install?

Do I still need to add some thermal paste to this? I’d heard they done away with the need to buy this these days..
