Upgrading to a mobo bundle

[Copier_guy]

Hi,

Can anyone give me any feedback on this bundle please,

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-013-AS&tool=3

wanting to upgrade my mobo and processor and ram - probably need a new case to as this one is getting really cramped.

Budget is £600

Thanks

i think gigabyte is still running their cashback offer for the cpu+mobo combo. if they are, it's an extra £25 off (but i may be wrong)

Thanks for the reply,

would it be worthwhile getting 16 gig of ram?

I live within 3 miles of overclockers to i can save the shipping

depends on what you're running the computer for.
gaming, no
video editing etc, yes

Thanks,

Will grab them tomorrow.

Will windows 8 freak out when i start it with a new mobo?

 

[tamzzy]

case is out of stock at the moment, just fyi, unfortunately

and yes, win 8 will freak out. you'll need to reactivate it.

Thanks,

Will look for another case.

Have you got any thoughts about the stock Cooler for that I7?

Is it worth changing it.

Sorry for all the questions and i appreciate your replies.

with the tall ram (as specced), you'll need an all-in-one cooler. something like this:

1 x Silverstone Tundra Series TD02 Liquid CPU Cooler £69.95
Total : £78.65 (includes shipping : £7.25).



the stock cooler will not allow much of an overclock.

and tbh. if you can wait for the case to come back in stock, i think you should.
there are no cases that offers the quality and specs of the phanteks case at that price range tbh. =x
