Whats your budget and will you be overclocking?

Hi,

Budget of £800 and yes to overclocking.

I would go for something like this, it has a much better graphics card and if he's overclocking there isn't really any reason to spend a lot on a cpu.

edit: I forgot to add a decent heatsink. I'd get either a Artic Freezer 7 or Noctua NH-U9F. You could change the case to a cheaper one to fit it into the budget.

Go with OC uk ram instead of the Geil value.

lee87 im sorry to say this but your over budget.

Thanks for the advise guys. Looks good.

I am sure I can go over budget a little bit
