    best hardware bundles ?

    Thinking about taking the dive and trying to complete my PC build and just wondering what sort of deals are going around.

    I basically need everything apart from the GPU and soundcard, and case.

    So far Scans VB15i , with artic cooling , Intel Core i5 3450 looks reasonable enough , although the £32.80 for 8gb seems a bit steep.

    Any suggestions ?

    Scan, Overclockers, ebuyer and novatech all offer nice overclocked bundles, I'm not sure if that's exactly what your after but it's worth a look.

    If you go to the today only section of scan, they usually have a pre built system there for quite good value, and it changes often as well, if you don't like their current one, check back another day.

    Re: best hardware bundles ?

    is it worth keeping the gpu etc and trying to build a new system with it though,
    or just starting afresh ?

    Its a year old already , so maybe Id better off trying to sell it . ( provided i can find some buyers )

    If I do stick with GPU,Audio card , case , then Im thinking scans VB20i bundle with z77 for possible overclocking and gaming .

    Just need a decent PSU maybe as opposed to the Artic 13, which does not sound like its that great for cooling.
