I was looking at pc parts on Scan and usually I ignore the bundle deals until I saw one today. 

 

My original intention was to buy:

 

i5 4670k w/stock cooler (I'm not very confident with overclocking)

Asus Z87-k

8gb Corsair Vengeance Ram

 

Total - £350

 

and then I saw a bundle -> http://3xs.scan.co.uk/configurator/z87oc5  for £385.62

 

Which was almost exactly the same and they overclock for you. It also comes with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 cooler. (Not sure how good this cooler actually is - if I was going to overclock I would have bought a hyper 212 evo)

 

Is it worth getting the bundle? 

 

Thanks,

Blueprint

I got my PC from, bundles at Scan and saved like £50, as for the pre-overclocking stuff it isn't worth it in my opinion, just save money and buy things that aren't from a configuration order. Also if you don't feel overclocking then don't, the chip is still very good when at stock speeds.

Ok, thanks :)
