and thats it, any reccommendations? id be happy for someone to reccommend a different overclocked bundle but must be preassembled and oc'ed will not sli but will use a 560ti.

using for video editing and rts gaming.

Go with the 1TB samsung f3 more space more speed.

Get a DVD drive for installing the OS.

Either PSU will work for your machine.

got dvd drive so no worry#d there everything else gonna be good?

It should be ok.

Personally i would go with a board that allows SLI/Crossfire since it would be close to the same price as that one.
Also i would get 1600Mhz ram as it's the sweet spot nowadays.
And i would probably get a different CPU cooler.

Another bundle £355 for example would be much more to my liking.
While it has a microATX board it still supports SLI/Crossfire.

Bundle 3 £339.95

This would also support SLI and crossfire ( although it doesn't come with the SLI bridge, and it's P67 board ) and it has the slower memory, the same as the bundle you listed.

The actual overclock on the CPU is a minor concern, you can always adjust that yourself.

yeah, im sure i wont sli, and a gtx560ti oc'd to 1ghz core should be fine for my needs for a while i cannot be bothered with the hassle of sli/xfire and all i really want to play are things like sc2, ra3, minecraft and tht kinda light gaming

anything elsE?

ah, and as for the overclock, do you think i would even notice a difference when video editing by taking it from 4.3-4.6ghz? i really like the 3year warrenty on the bundle and would be worried of mucking my system up xD

 

[rvilkman]

Well there is a small difference, but i doubt you would really notice it much. So since you don't intend to SLI the set you had initially will work fine.
