Yes. That's right. 

I say Yes, it will last 5 years... with some upgrades.
 
Take 1x8GB instead of 2x4GB to leave room for future upgrades... upgradability is more important than the tiny performance boost you will get from dual-channel in this case.
And upgrade the GPU after 2 or 3 years. A board with pcie 3.0 would be a plus if you can get one at a reasonable price, maybe future GPUs will benefit from it.

The rest should be fine (unless some crazy big changes in the PC world happen all of a sudden). As for the CPU, both Nvidia and AMD promised us less CPU usage, so if they keep their promise you should be all set. 

Do this. There is a chance that the board can come with refresh-compatible BIOS out of the box, but if you want to be 100% sure then just get a 4130. You won't notice the performance decrease.

There isn't a big performance difference between 4130 and 4160.
 
Get 4130. It's just fine.

It just a Post test !!!! You guys are so paranoid.

I just plugged a monitor into whichever I was installing (when I was installing my 7950, I plugged a monitor into it and so on). Only real hardware constraint is that I only have a PCIe x16 slot wired at x4 left.

Hi, I chose to post my problem here since there are a lot of ppl here that know about graphics and stuff, and since it's not a "traditional" programming problem. It's a bit long so bare with me.
 
I made a program that takes a screenshot of your screen while a game is open, scans that image looking for some text and numbers, then do other stuff with those information (calculations, logging...). PS: nothing that violates the EULA of the game.
 
How the program works: it takes the screenshot and converts it into a matrix where every element represents a pixel, then compares that to my database to try to find a match.
 
Hundreds of ppl use the program and it works fine for them, because the way the game/system renders the frame: the pixels that make a certain letter/word are laid out exactly the same way on every user's screen... EXCEPT FOR 2 USERS !!!
 
Only 2 users have reported this problem. They sent me a screenshot, for the naked-eye the text looks no different from everyone else's, but when you look at the pixels that make that text they are different from what the other hundreds of users have !
 
Anyone have an explanation for this? is it possible that this is caused by a specific graphics card or driver?

Yes, most H81 boards from MSI are likely capable of overclocking the G3258. There may be a 1.2V limit though.
 
For safer and more consistent bet is to get an i3. It performs better on average- some things may be quicker on the G3258 (e.g. single thread when overclocked) but some things are totally unusable on a G3258 regardless of clock.

Why don't you just cover the pcb and spray-paint the whole thing?

Thank you guys for your input. To answer your questions :

- No, I don't use OpenCV or any other recognition software/API, I wrote everything from scratch.
-The image i'm processing is the one that windows puts in your clipboard when you press print-screen.
-The program was originality 100% strict because 1) the text I'm parsing has a uni-color background so no interfering pixels there 2) it was working for everyone, except for those 2 damn users :-/
I can easily make the parsing more flexible so that the text will be readable even with a few pixels off, and that's what i'm gonna do... no problem there.
But I just wanna understand why is it different for some people? In theory it should be the same right? If the letter 'l' is 10 pixels in height on my screen, it should be 10 pixels on every screen, right?

The fact that it works fine for 100s of users on many different platforms tells me that there is something wrong (or lets just say different) about those 2 users.
 
   
These make sens to me, I will look into these. Thank you.

This is image processing. How are you achieving it? are you using anything like OpenCV for example? I suggest that you really need to work on recreating the bug first in a controlled environment. You'll then obviously be able to debug and ascertain the cause. What are the specification differences in the edge cases? Introduce logging perhaps?
 
Things to consider:
Internationalization Code pages OS font settings Really we need more information. If you are unwilling to provide it then that would tend to make one suspicious of illicit activity. You mention 'hundreds of people' using the software...

Start with C (or other procedural language), never start with an OOP language. I teach software dev, trust me I know what I'm talking about. 
OOP should be the second language you learn (Java is a personal preference)... from there, you are free to choose your path.... start exploring web dev, mobile dev, databases ....

PS: HTML is not a programming language.... but it's a good place to start (even before C) cause it teacher you how code writing works (syntax)
