Hopefully you guys can help clear any doubts I may have regarding some parts I am thinking of getting. Since my CPU is a bottleneck for my GPU I think it's time for an upgrade.

So these are the parts I was thinking of getting as they are around my budget:

CPU:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-362-IN

Motherboard:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-446-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1906

RAM:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-063-GS

What are your toughts on these parts?

I would recommend getting the i5 2500k as it comes with an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. Even if you don't plan on oc'ing now it is at least an option later on.

Also, if your adamant on not ocing for whatever reason, you can pick a cheaper mobo.

Your CPU isn't a bottleneck, OC that quad and there you go.
