Id get the retail cpu, £6 more for a stock cooler (good for resale) and 3 more years warranty

Definitely go for retail chip, like Lemin stated better resale value.

What graphics are you going?

Upgrading to an 850w+ PSU would give you room for crossfire in future if you decided to go that way

 

[pogomonkeh]

Using sapphire 7770ghz edition atm with probable upgrade to r280/290 in couple months
