Hey guys this was my plan but i saw somewhere that if i get a g3258 and overclock it i can make it about as good as the 4790k. This allows me to get a better motherboard and still save like $200 but im not sure if i should do it. What do you guys think? If i do what new motherboard should i get? I live in Singapore and ima use this rig for gaming. Thanks

Not nearly as good as the 4790k, I don't know who told you that but it's total BS.

You could save about $100 by getting the 4690k which is fine for gaming.

Oh and i'd go for a Z97 motherboard if you want your CPU to actually work..

its on the linus youtube. should i get a 4690k instead and a z97?

Yes, I would suggest the msi z97 g55 sli, its an amazing board for the price (I have one along with an i5 4690K)

You can clock it as high as the 4790k, but it wont perform the exact same way

Get a 4690k and a Z97 chipset motherboard.

The gaming 5 is a little bit more expensive, but it would be a great choice too.
