Like I said, I didn't have to update the bios http://www.msi.com/support/mb/B85M-E45.html#support-cpu

I got a MSi B85M-E45, no problem with Haswell-r cpus

if you want to game then the i3

gaming with my q8400 I got a temperature of 80º average, you can get a cheap aftermarket cooler to reduce the heat.

I like playing csgo with 200fps+ too, its not if you can run it or not, it helps alot in competitive cause grenades and peeks. My rig can handle good fps cause the 750, but I recommend a 960/970. 4 threads is more than enough for the game (also you wanna have 8gb or more ram).

Intel for gaming, an i3/i5 should be enough (i5 more than enough).

If you can afford the i5 it will be a total beast and serve you so well. Edit: Pick the 970 please.

Sorry, I had class, first, if your friends have any gpu, test with it, if your PC works fine enough without games, it should be the 240, for any 750 you wanna pair it with a 450-600w psu (they all come with 6pin connector and additional cables). Games will run smooth with gtx or r9 series graphics cards.Don't try using generic psu, it will damage your hardware and you don't want that.

It looks like cs isn't happy with your gpu, it's the only game who crashes?

Try to upload it in imgur or something like that, it will give you an url, paste it here.

Mate, the 240 is a horrible card, not going to bash it but I guess Intel graphics are more stable than the 240, also your psu is kinda low, if you can check my signature I play csgo at 250 fps without problems, with that being said, try to go to your steam library and click csgo properties, then check cache, this may take a while, if the problem persist try to reinstall, drop a post here after that.The i5 is a really good CPU and 8gigs of ram should help alot.

Pc specs?

I lost the faith in TT PSUs, they're risky, it will work for a time anyways. I had the same and one day it blew up
