Upgrading to an i5 2500K, not sure on mobo and ram

[FatManSam]

Hey folks,

Im ordering tomorrow an i5 2500K CPU along with a Thermaltake Frio cooler. Im not sure on which motherboard or RAM to go with though. Looking for a motherboard around £100 mark (can stretch more if its a big jump in performance) and about £70 for RAM. Would really appreciate your suggestions. You can see my current system in my signature. I shouldn't need to upgrade my PSU?

Thanks in advance, much appreciated

I recently got the asus p8p67 pro motherboard to go along with the 2500k.
Its a pretty nice board, it has a newer "bios", though the name is different, and looks nice / works well.

It has a bluetooth built in and the EZ Mode overclocking is great. Just a quick button push inside the bios will set your overclock from stock to over 4.3 without hassle.

I havent really looked into others, but im happy with my board.
