The pentium is allot cheaper. I have liquid cooling, so if I just overclock the Pentium, will it give the same if not better performance than the I5 in games? Only playing games on this build. If I buy the G3258, the extra money will be saved to buy a stronger power supply, so I can buy another 760 and run them in SLI. (Playing games like battlefield 3 + 4) Current pc specs: Core I3 3220 3.3ghz dual core MSI GTX 760 2GB twin frozer 8GB 1600mhz RAM 520 watt power supply Will be upgrading Motherboard to the MSI Z97S SLI PLUS. Will the Pentium be able to run BF4 at ultra with my 760? And will it be able to handle 2 760s in SLI in the future?

Well if you're sticking with the SLI plan don't even bother considering the Pentium. The second card would just be a waste.

I'd really consider just selling your current CPU and GPU. Get a 3570K and 970. That will play BF3/4 Ultra no problem and any other game at the highest settings. Would That route be more expensive than buying a new Mobo, CPU, PSU, 2nd GPU?

Lol, I tell you to do the same thing and you tell me no, but when some one else gives you the same advice you go with it?

Yes sorry. It was 20 past 12 in the middle of the night here and I got tired and grumpy. I apologize for my "dumbness". South Africa isn't really up to date with with pc tech, and most of the time I have to order something from overseas. Thats wyy the 2 760 is cheaper. But anyhow. Thanks for all your replies. Thanks for all your help. I now have an idea of what I want to do. I am sorry faceman for not listening to you.
