Need new Processor, Motherboard and RAM to run DOTA 2 and CS:GO

[xpo]

Hey, I am going to upgrade my rig and I usually play DOTA 2 and CS:GO with an R7 250 card. I need recommendations for the motherboard, processor and RAM size. My budget is a bit flexible as I'm currently planning to get a G3258 and overclock or an AMD X4 860K. My budget is enough as I planned on getting a Core i5 4460 too. Any suggestions would be accepted as long as the price range doesn't go beyond that. Thanks!

Well if you still have the 250 GPU an 860k is what you'll want unless the i3 is only a bit more expensive, you don't want a G3258 because some games just will not run on a dual core properly.

Or you can always sell what you got and get a tiny GPUless build depending on part availability, an APU is going to run those games just fine

My plan for an AMD is to either get an A8-6600K/X4 860K/FX-4300/FX-6300 paired with a motherboard MSI A88X-Gaming(FM2+)/MSI 970-G43(AM3+)
