Theres no way a R9 290 is worth £300 now, new ones from OcUK can be had for £220 and even a R9 290X is less than £300,

But above I have put a GTX970 in and the option to do SLI is there later on.

The CPU+Board bundle comes with a mouse mat.
 
Cheers, I've tweaked a little:

Dropped PSU, GPU (not interested in SLI), SSD. Replaced with recommended, also replaced mobo, added headset (which I had forgotten). That CPU bundle tipped me over too far to the wrong side of £1300!

Any recommendations on a heatsink that will allow me to fit that RAM? :confused:
Around the £40 mark.

Or more suitable RAM around the £70 mark..

Was literally just looking at that RAM. Looks like a winner that will fit. That CPU bundle better tthan the haswell?
 
Ok thanks for the clarification. Perfomance wise, am I better off getting that bundle or the mobo and cpu I've selected separately?
