Hi Guys Stumbled across this CPU whilst contemplating a new build, initially I was tempted by the I7 4790k but then I read on forums that it was probably overkill if computer was just for watching movies, surfing, little bit of gaming and the G3258 was suggested as a good alternative which overclocks exceptionally well, so after some deliberation I am going to build a modest system around this chip. I am looking for gems that are modestly priced which deliver fantastic performance, can not decide on ram or gpu & cpu cooler, I want this system to be relatively quiet, looking for suggestions and advice, I dont want the build to be bottle necked by anything I buy, it is a bonus if components allow for some overclocking as it is fun to tinker. so far I have bought Seasonic 600w PSU Asus Z97-A as you can see I have some bits to buy, please feel free to make any suggestions, and please be candid/honest thanks in advance for any help given. have a great weekend best. Paul
Anything 4/8GB will be ok, probably best to choose for the cheapest. CPU cooler is a close more what your budget is, cheapest, silent and best performer is Rajintek aidos and right after that 212 evo. GPU I would recommend a 750ti or 960.
Hi would you choose the 750ti over the gtx 760 or 770 what mhz ram would you go for cheers for response best. Paul
Of course if you had the budget for that then the 770 is the best choice altough a 760 might still do the job in light gaming. Everytime I see a G3258 build thread a switch in my head goes off and I go full cheapskate :nerd: TBH, 1333mhz is fine altough you might find 1600/1866mhz ram for about 5 bucks more which is great value.
