Hi guys
Gonna treat myself to birthday upgrade from my current sig rig, just wanted some opinions on what i have decided to go for. It going to be used mainly for gaming with games like BF3 GTA 4 etc. I have just bought an MSI 7850 as well to go with this new setup. The only thing not listed is the NZXT Hale 90 650w PSU which ocuk dont seem to stock which is a shame. All my old parts are going to be moved into a SilverStone Grandia GD05B htpc case to be used as a media machine with an old copy of XP i have lying around
Anyway here is the list
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £173.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £101.99
1 x Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler - Silver (Socket LGA 2011/1155/1156/1366/775/AMD AM2/2+/AM3) £66.98
1 x Corsair Vengeance Arctic White 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W) £46.99
Total : £401.35 (includes shipping : £9.50).

as said above shame it dont match white scheme
. Cheers for the advice as well, i can wait til IB but i know a SB will do everything i need along with my new 7850. Gonna apply for my OCUK 10% discount code as well to save a few penies 
Im not a benchmarker or anything like that, i would just like to perhaps get a nice OC to around 4.5ghz and i'll be over the moon
