I would personally go for a G3258, compatible OC board and H212EVO to maximize performance. 

 

Looks good though.

What about something like this? The case is more budget friendly and has a ton of airflow.

I went for the G3220 because i work in a computer/electronics retail store and we have the G3220 on stock right now and we don't have the G3258

 

I'm going for the Fractal Design Node 304 white edition because i get it on a staff discount but not the H212EVO as we do not have corsair.

Oops, must have been clear about it.

 

The H212EVO is my abbreviation for Hyper 212 EVO, the Cooler Master CPU cooler.

 

The G3220 should work well, the build looks good for the most part.

We didn't know that

If the prices of those parts make sense there, go ahead, but try finding a good i3 or a Pentium G3258 around there, the 3220 is on the weak side

Yeah i thought about getting an I3 (it's only 50$-60$ more) But i'm not sure if it will impact my experience as i am only playing games on it.
