Looking for a MB, CPU and cooler, buying it from Overclockers.co.uk.

Don't worry about the PSU or RAM, budget around 350 quid.

Would preffer if it was ivy bridge.

Thank you

Are you planning on OCing at all?

CPU wise is easy most people will point you in the direction of the i5 2500k (Sandy bridge) or the ivy bridge equivelent i5 3570k

Again depending on if you want to OC or not will depend on the mobo and heat sink.

Exactly what hardware do you already have that you're looking to upgrade?

its for a friend, he has Q6600 or something, he recently bought a good PSU(cant remember the name he told me but I googled it and its a good one), a 560TI, and has 8gb of DDR3 ram ready to go. Case is some big coolermaster can't remember exactly what name

Its just the processor and mb that is holding him back, and what he is looking to replace.

He can also pick up from the ocers physical store, so no shipping fee's

Here's what you asked for:

Your friend will probably need a new OS license, too.

And most people who have a bad power supply think they have a good one, so I'm leery of "I don't know what I have, but it's good".

what is the diff from that motherboard to this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-493-AS

That's an older Z68 motherboard, which is meant for Sandy Bridge, not Ivy Bridge.  It's backward compatible, so an Ivy Bridge processor in there should mostly work, but might disable some features.  It certainly loses PCI Express 3.0 compatibility, and I'm not sure what else.

That's way over the budget.  The processor is also obsolete, in the sense that it makes no sense to buy it new.

If price isn't your concern, then why are you replying to a "what can I get on this budget?" thread?

It's a previous generation product, not the current generation.  If you have an old Sandy Bridge processor, then there's no need to rush out and replace it.  But it's not what you want to buy new today.

alright, I thought he had another PSU, his one is a ezcool atx-600 JSP, is this good or should he replace it?

also, will the cooler fit Cooler Master CM 690 I case?

There aren't any ezcool power supplies at all that are 80 PLUS certified, so it's probably junk.  The specs show a ton of amperage on the +3.3 V and +5 V rails, so it's probably a relic of another era, and not even a modern design.

what psu would you suggest, can go separate from the other parts budget wise, don't think it needs more than 600w

Depending on what you're willing to pay, either of these are nice:
