what do you use the system for ?

personally i'd buy the following and have a go at overclocking it yourself, think the coolers will be a tight fit if the side fans on the case line up over the cpu socket, if they don't then they'll be fine.

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £167.99 (£139.99)

Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £99.98 (£83.32)

Corsair A50 High-Performance CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/AM3/LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366) £24.98 (£20.82)

Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9AD3B1K2/4G) £23.99 (£19.99)

Sub Total : £264.12
Shipping : £9.50
VAT : £54.72
Total : £328.34

what happens when you try to overclock your current processor, tis a black edition so should deffo overclock.

no chance the sandybridge won't overclock matey, variance on the overclock does vary of course but i can't say i've seen less than 4ghz since they were released.

they are that easy to overclock , plenty of people here will help .

I think there must be something wrong with my setup as it gets to 3.4 and it starts to get unstable for some reason. The reason I looked at the bundles was mainly due to the finance option aswell but I do see your reasoning.

Thanx so much

i'd post in the overclocking section and ask for some help, might just need a few little tweaks to get it stable .
