Michaela what sort of stuff are you planning to do on your PC? If it is an everyday use and you are really 100% sure you wanna use on board gpu jsut go with i5 2500k and save yourself £80.

Getting the k version on a P67 board is pointly, since overclocking is not available on them. So the normal i5 2500 will do.

Aurus she mentioned using on board gpu (shall i say on cpu gpu?). K versions have better gpus. Also the price of I2500 is pretty much equal to 2500k...

Ouch I am sorry mate. I dont think you need a card either and i think you will be just fine with just about of any of the SandyBridge CPUs for your needs.

Asus P8H67-M Pro Rev B3 will do mate. I am using the P67 version and I am really happy with it. In your situation I would go for m-atx format because it gives you the choice of going for a really small and quiet case. It would look perfect in the living room for example serving as a media center.

I have been looking looking at media centers and quite like the silverstone LC17 just wondering if anyone has seen it and if it would be ok for i7 2600 build.
