Decided against the Dell one, and went to a nearby PC shop instead. Got a price on a setup which was; MoBo: H67 S1155 DDR3-1333 2x PC-X SATA3 USB3 ATX CPU: Intel Core I7-2600k Gfx: GTX560 1024MB DDR5 DX11 2x DVI MINI-HDMI PSU: Evo Labs 800w Modular 80+ Pin 4x SATA RB Memory: 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz CL9 Team Elite x2 HDD: 1000GB SATA-II-300 32MB 7200RPM ROHS Going to also ask to get an uprated fan and overclock the CPU a little, and fill out the other two RAM slots when I have the money, and possibly add a SSD for Windows and WoW files Already paid my deposit, and just a few more payments which will take less than 6 weeks I think, and I should be happy!

First of all, this is by no means meant as taking a piss on your bonfire, but I think you couldve gone with the i5 2500k and gotten roughly the same performance at ÂŁ50 or so less that you couldve then spent on... I dunno going to the movies or something. Anyway, I have a 2600k myself and it's kickass for multitasking So all in all, grats!

I'm not 100% sure about this but I think there was some talk about the H67 chipset not supporting overclocking. Worth investigating.

Go for SSD! Best upgrade you can invest into your pc.

The 2500k is exactly like the 2600k but with less thread support, something most people dont really use all that much. In real life situations there is very seldom any difference unless you run loads of shit at the same time, but whatever. Its a tiny bit better for handling one thing at a time aswell, afaik, even if not nearly enough to motivate the price difference. As for SSDs, I have no idea what is up with the new generations but mine broke after 12 months and really wasnt all that awesome before that. A raid0 setup of 2 WD Black performs awesomely, is 2 TB data and less prone to breaking. Oh yeah, and its less than a good 80GB SSD . Super side note; no need to get the special cooler before you start OCing, my 2600k is running at 4.5 and never goes above 60 C with stock cooler... Actually got a noctua whatever its called just lying around cuz I cba for the extra 0.5 GHz or whatever
