Ok people so im in need of an upgrade for the new Call Of Duty, My budget is £400 - £600

Has anyone got any recommendations for a Bundle,
Mother Board
Processor
Memory.

I currently am using AMD but i have read that intel is better for gaming and recording and multi tasking as that's what i do :) 

I was looking at this, is it any good or not.

Don't buy a bundle, it's a waste of money. You can get the same parts for a cheaper price and all you have to do is built it yourself (not hard to do)

If you already have the 8 GB, i think you can keep it. If it`s 2x4, it`s perfect. If it`s 1x8, you can grab another 8 GB stick, for dual channel. It would be up to you. Thou, if you`re not running multiple VMs, you`ll be fine.

If you want a lil bit of future proof with the Mobo, you can go with the Asrock Extreme 6. Has 1 SATA express slot and the M.2 ultra gen 3 slot. Definetly will help when rendering big chunks of files.

Yup, you could get DDR2 but that stuff is old school and slow.
