Buying this week. UK based info needed please.

[lee1988m]

So I'm going to be buying a new CPU, Motherboard and Memory this week, I'm limited to about £250

Prefer an Intel i5 (2400k minimun, 2500k preffered)

8gb ram or higher

Never bought a motherboard before so pretty clueless.

Current hardware: Gigabyte gtx 560ti 1gb, Corsair 600w PSU, Corsair 60gb SSD and a bog standard 500gb HDD.

Used for gaming mostly, online gaming is quie CPU dependant these days from what I've heard.

UK based only please

(Posted a few days back and only got one answer from an american which sent me to some american shop which I'm not prepared to wait weeks for delivery and delivery fees.)

Help needed ASAP as I'll be ordering this week and want the best I can get for my money.

Thanks Lee

Your current hardware deserves a good CPU, Motherboard and RAM but your budget of £250 is not enough for a decent 'mid-range' gaming unit. (no 2400K i think)

If you can stretch the budget to about £330, you can look at getting an i5 2500K, P68 Rev 3.1 Motherboard and 4GB 1600MHz of G.SKILL. All that coupled with your current gear, would make a nice gaming rig.
