iLostMyXbox21

so i have a pentium g3260t and on the list it is marked as a g3260 because pcpp did not have a g3260t.. i already have an HDD..  now i got both these parts from this pc i got a while back which broke so i scraped it.. now i wanna give the CPU a new life (probably will add a gtx 1050ti, rx 560, or gt 1030 as well) and hopefully sell it to make about $50-100 if i sell to my friend who just needs a PC for the internet surfing and such. if possible i want to OC the Pentium and such

Could you go for a Gigabyte or ASUS board instead? If you can't then the ASRock will do but I would buy an ASUS/Gigabyte board. ASRock aren't really that known for durability or reliability.

If ASRock fits your budget then it'll do I guess. 

Other than that the PC looks alright to me, it won't perform brilliantly in games but web browsing and YouTube should be no problem.

sure why not, grab a GTX 560 Ti or something else old that's stupidly cheap now but enough to play any esports with more than 60fps and enough for the CX450 to handle.

i think you will be better off getting a second hand board. the cost of a board for this cpu doesnt reflect its perf.

I am here to learn, please correct me if im wrong or you see me putting bs on your screen!
