Heyy all,

I ordered a GeForce 560 Ti yesterday to use for my old system i got, heres the specs:

XP Pro
2GB DDR2 6400
Uknown Mobo, This pc is an upgraded retail desktop from acer,
Athlon X2 4400+ @ 2.3GHz
Corsair TX 650

Now with this CPU i knew i would get bottleneck, and i asked on the forums a few days ago just how much i will get, and apparently, a lot ;)

So ive been looking for some cheap overclocked bundles and found these 2;
I did find some i3 bundles but with more games supporting more than 2 cores nowadays ill have a better price to power perfomance with AMD,

The first

Or

The second:
Specifications:

• FREE CPU Overclocking to 3.80GHz
• AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 125W C3 Processor
• Integrated Radeon HD 4200 Graphics
• 4GB Mushkin Silverline (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24
• Gigabyte GA-880GM-D2H AMD 880G (Socket AM3) Micro-ATX DDR3 Motherboard
• Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
• Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
• 1 Years RTB Warranty
• No Operating System

Features:

• 3.80GHz Quad Core CPU
• AMD® 880G Chipset
• 4GB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3
• DirectX 10.1 via the integrated Radeon HD 4200 GPU
• Video Outputs: 1x VGA, 1x DVI-D, 1x HDMI
• 12x USB 2.0 Ports
• 4x SATA II Ports
• Gigabit LAN
• High Definition 7.1 Channel Audio CODEC
• Expansion slots: 1x PCIe 2.0 x16 Slot, 1x PCIe x1 Slot & 2x PCI Slots

The only difference is the CPU's, but will i get ANY bottleneck with either of these Bundles? and if i would, what bundle/system would you reccomend so that i get a minimal bottleneck or no bottleneck at all??

P.S: My Price limit is £350 But i'd like to spend as little as possible :P

Any Idea's or suggestions are greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in Advance :)
 
2500k - £170
4Gb 1333MHz DDR3 - £40
CPU Cooler - £40
P67 mobo - £100

Generally what I'd be looking at. I don't have much personal SB experience so someone else can probably recommend specific components.

hmm, they all seem like good decisions, but ill have to see how ong it'll take for me to get £280 and £350, as i dont want to finally have £350 by christmas and then see the ivy bridge bundles for the exasct same price, i also dont want to be playing games with the bottleneck for long, i dont mind 2-3 months, but if a can get £200 in 2 months i suppose i wouldnt mind waiting another 1 or 2 to get enough for the i5...
 
My prices were generous estimates. I was originally thinking of an Akasa Venom or Gelid Tranquillo, sone XMS3 and a P8P67.
