I saved a bit more and now have 500gbp to spend on upgrading GPU CPU and mobo since I have 500gb HDD, 256gb ssd, zalman z9 case, 8gb ram, 450w psu and a corsair h60. I would like to overclock quite a bit and maybe delid in future.

Here's what I have thought of so far... [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The only problem I'm having is with the motherboard because I think its overkill, but I would like the dual bioss apart from the yellow colour scheme as I would like red so maybe the gaming 5 or 7?

Aside from this I have 60gbp to spend on a cooler for a high oc. I was thinking [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] or a water loop with dual radiators.

I will be claiming 40 cashback on the mobo and CPU so keep that in mind and please choose one from this list: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Thanks

Antec make some decent PSU's so that should be alright.

Also, if you want to overclock a lot then You will need a better cooler than the H60, it's alright but not designed for high overclocks.
As for CPU delidding, it isn't really worth it if you have a good enough cooler.

Would you recommend any coolers? TechYesCity reccomended me a enermax t40, Be can do 4.6GHz stable with good temps. Should I go with that?

I'd be saving for a decent AIO such as an H100i, Nepton 240M, Seidon 240M or Kraken X61

What about a cooler master Neptune 280l? For 60 new or is there better options for my budget as everything else seems to be a bit to dear for me.
