Motherboard Bundles - Advice Needed

[ms228]

Hi all,

I am looking to put together a PC and saw this on dabs:

Asus Intel Gamer/Overclocking Bundle (Inc. Sabertooth P67, Intel Core i7-2600K & 8GB DDR3 Memory) - £470

http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-intel-gamer-overclocking-bundle--inc--sabertooth-p67--intel-core-i7-2600k---8gb-ddr3-memory--7J0X.html?refs=48760000&q=EVGA%20P67%20Micro%20SLI

Does anyone know if it is worthwhile getting a bundle like this or is it better to but all parts seperately.

I think i will be using the below graphics card, but may want to upgrade to SLI:

Asus GeForce GTX 560 Ti 900MHz PCI-Express HDMI (DirectCU II TOP) - £180

Cheers,

Mark

I have been looking around and may be able to fork out for the below graphics card:

MSI GeForce GTX 580 800MHz 1536MB PCI-E HDMI Twin Frozr II/OC - £390

http://www.dabs.com/products/msi-geforce-gtx-580-800mhz-1536mb-pci-e-hdmi-twin-frozr-ii-oc-7RBB.html?q=%22MSI%20GeForce%20GTX%20580%20800MHz%201536MB%20PCI-E%20HDMI%20Twin%20Frozr%20II%2FOC%22

I have never used a bundle before and am wondering if the motherboards themselves are as good as buying seperately.

Usually there is a discount involved when buying bundles! The Sabertooth board is a good board.
