K and get a temporary GPU the GTX 750TI (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pr92XL). Please help me decide. :D

What are you going to be doing with this PC?

(Be very specific!

 

If gaming: What type of gaming?  Fast paced/slowpaced?  

If working: What type of working? Video Editing/Typing?)

You still need a PSU, and you can save money on the CPU heat sink. You don't need to pay a bijillion dollars if you dont super duper overclock your CPU. A Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is fine as a CPU cooler. Do you plan on Overclocking your CPU? It seems like a good idea since the Pentium has a base clock of 3.2 ghz.

If you do get the petnium G3258 can you tell me how it is? I've heard some mixed reviews and I want to find a recent source. 
 
Thanks ^_______________________________________ʖ_______________________________________^

I don't know if you're planning to OC but that CPU cooler seems a bit overkill

I do plan to oc and later to upgrade my cpu to some thing like 4790k down the road.

Sorry I am late.  I haven't been able to get onto my computer for a while.  I'd recommend the i5-4690K build with the toned down cooler as other people have said.  The G3258 can be an absolute powerhouse but with greatly suffer with only 2 cores.
