Its for gaming, no crossfire later on. I've got all the other stuff. If anyone can do it cheaper that would be good to.

In that case I would suggest going for an i5 750 CPU and P55 motherboard. This motherboard is a good price and overclocks well. If you are able to spend £15 more, this is well worth it. Also, if you haven't already got one - get a CPU cooler. With a decent one like this you can expect to get a nice 1GHz overclock with the i5 chip.

Using the same RAM that you picked, its good stuff.

In games the i5 is always as fast or faster than the Phenom II (at stock speeds) and overclocks much better than the AMD chip.

This look ok? I'm using a corsair H50 cooler.

Sweet, should be a sweet PC

What are your thoughts on overclocking and aftermarket CPU coolers?

Also, what PSU will be used with the i5/5870 system?

I've no oveclocking experience with Intel just shoving the multi up on Amd's lol.

I love the H50 cooler will that be ok for a good overclock?

My PSU is a corsair tx 650 will that be enough?
