I was planning on going for one of the overclocked bundles but figured it's time to man up and just try it out for myself

I already have an EVGA GTX570 Superclocked, a 400Gb WDC, Ocz ModXstream pro 600w so was hoping this would get me started.

Primary usage will be Gaming, some Photoshop and light video editing.

P.s, any advice or alternate suggestions welcome

This ram will definitely fit with that cooler - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517 same speed rating too and cheaper.

Wow

That's some incredibly low priced ram... :cool:

and hmm never thought about the clearance with the heatspreaders on the corsair and the Akasa... will they be to tall for this cooler?

tbh mate my SB knowledge is pretty short ATM.I know enough to help out. check out some of the overclocking SB threads for
more info on an OC >4.6

The 4.6Ghz thing was more a joke since i'm a complete noobus when it comes to overclocking

but i have been keeping an eye on the SB oc'ing threads.

I just noticed the i5 overclocked bundles are at 4.40Ghz is that a more realistic figure with the i5?
