What to do?

[ghostcodpro]

Hey everyone need some serious help as I will be looking at buying soon but can decide what to get. Will I be better off buying the prebuilt upgrade bundles from OC or buying the parts separately and building it all myself?

If I should buy the upgrade bundle which one? I'm looking at an i5 coffee lake bundle but not sure which on to go for. My budget is about £700. Please help!

The bundles look good and gauranteed overclock plus 3 years warranty which will cost you £640 , doing it yourself will cost you £590 parts , like for like.

Just wondering if I got one of the bundles will a 650w psu be enough?

You would have to be running 2 gfx cards to hit 600w. Or even get it into the range where the psu fan becomes an annoyance.
