lol ive just put my order though without adding it too the basket,i will ring them tomorrow and add some,RJC i was gonna go for the OCZ stuff but im buying a pre overclocked bundle from OcUK so should i go with what the put on between the mobo and cpu?.or wont it matter?

I would suspect you will get some with the bundle, but if your after some for future use I would go with Arctic Silver 5 or MX2
