Just a quick update if anyone is interested.
After issues with ebuyer I'm in the process of getting a refund.
Popped out today and picked up the 4690k and an Asus B85-pro gamer motherboard from a local shop.
All boots up out of the box and works fine (not the same can be said from the crap I got from ebuyer)
Pretty pleased with this board/CPU combo added to that the SSD it should keep me going for a while.
Will look at a closed loop water cooler once I got my head around the new style (new to me anyway) BIOS and it's overclocking capabilities.
So my £200 budget turned into a £300 upgrade.
