Hi guys possibly thinking about upgrading to a new Z77 and the new Intel chip range. Currently look at this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-113-OE&groupid=43&catid=2053&subcat=2288

Just hoping i could get peoples perspectives on this specific bundle.

Kind regards

What do you use your machine for?

If its gaming then all you need is a 3570k based sytem, the 3770k has hyperthreading which is not needed in gaming.

Hi thanks for your reply. Yes all my machine is used for is gaming. Would you go straight for the i7 then and save some pennies?

Are you looking for a pre-built bundle for the upgrade or are you looking to do it yourself?

I wouldn't bother upgrading to a Ivybridge from your current setup.

Ohhh, Might start at looking to get some decent speakers sorted out then and maybe a decent sound card, possibly watercooling hehe
