I need a nice shiny new CPU, Cooler, Mobo and RAM to go with my shiny new 980Ti.

Budget of around £3-400 if possible.

Is Skylake better than Haswell?

That bundle looks just the ticket. It also gives me enough headroom (money wise) to upgrade my 8 year old PSU as well.

Any suggestions on a PSU? Want enough headroom in case I go 980Ti or pascal sli in future.

if your gonna go 980ti sli you will need at least 850w psu.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
1 x XFX XTR 1050W Black Edition 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £119.99

Thanks for your help. I'm in 2 minds now about the bundle. It's good, but I'm just not sure I would notice a big difference between the 6400 and my i5 2500k at 4.4ghz.

Agreed, if you said you had a 2500k in the first place.

Yeah sorry about that lol.

No problem, What mobo you got will it do sli ?

I have the AS Rock extreme 4 gen 3 and yes, I believe it does. As it's sandybridge though, I dont think it will do PCI 3.0, only 2.0.
