Upgrade or start from scratch? Help me out, um, bitches!

If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Downside with bundles is they may expect you to RMA them in the bundle, would leave you computerless rather than able to pick up a cheap replacement.

Also, a very topical PCG test on bundles showed that buying the components separately saves you on average about £50, while the best bundle deal they found only saved them £2.60.

Alright. here's a spreadshit link to my planned build, saving up money this month and getting it the month after. obviously, prices will be subject to what ever kind of crazy things happen in the interim. I was thinking about the i5 2500k for overclocking in the future which would give me more time before having to upgrade properly. I'm kind of swaying between that or the i5 2400, just because of the prices.

Looking for thoughts, improvements, etc.

I've done a quite silly thing and started building before i've got all my parts. The cpu, case, mobo and cooler are all assembled and waiting for all t'other parts.

That's a Coolermaster elite 430 case, an Asus P8P67 motherboard, an Intel i5 2500k processor and some kind of cooler thingygum.
