New build, some help?

[hyp3r]

hey guys im new to this forum and hope this is the right place to post about builds, so im planning on building a pc and have chosen som parts. i will use this pc for playing League of Legends and some CS:GO and daily stuff. Can you guys give me feedback and which settings i will be able top play and fps?

my budget is around 3800 swedish crones, and thats 500 dollar approx.

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258

GPU: Nvidia GTX 750

MOBO; MSI B85M-E45

RAM: 4 Gb Crucial DDR3 1600MHz

PSU: Cooler Master B500 v.2, 500W 85% efficiency

Case:Cooler Master Elite 311

For CSGO and League that will be fine. 

 

You should also try and get either an R7 260x or a GTX750Ti (whichever is cheaper).

 

If you want to play AAA titles like Battlefield 4 then you should get a better cpu, and i3 if its affordable, if not then an AMD 760k/860k.

If you can go up to 8 gb of ram that would help a lot with daily work depending on your habits.

I would go 8GB of RAM. Other than that pretty good for CSGO and League. Anything else and you will need a stronger GPU and possibly CPU. So if you intend on playing AAA titles or intensive indie games you may want to look into a z97 board and a better GPU.

Alternatively, 2nd and maybe even 3rd gen i7's and i5's off ebay should help the budget. That ani edition Pentium might be nice for the price, but a 3 year old 2500k will smack it around and is prob super cheap now.

Used sandy/Ivy and compatible mobos aren't that cheap, and then you still have to deal with used parts, which is never ideal.

thanks guys, i will probably not play AAA titles because i have a PS4 and i cant afford  core i5s and similar. But any idea what settings i will be able to play in ?

CSGO/LoL -- 1080p max

Oh i forgot. the OC genie 4 feature in the motherboard. should i do it because i have no idea of OC and heard the g3258 got a huge performance upgrade when OCed.

Overclock manually, it's easy. 

 

Change the CPU Core voltage to 1.30v, set the CPU multiplier to 42 and run Prime95 or Aida64 for a few hours while running HWMonitor. Prime95 and Aida64 will both put the CPU under 100% load, if no crashes occur then the system is stable. And you use HWMonitor to make sure temps stay below 80ºc. 

 

If 42 is stable, then try 43, then 44, and so on. Once you find the highest multiplier, then you slowly lower the voltage little by little and try to find the lowest stable voltage at that multiplier.

1. Z97 Motherboard: The G3258 overclocks like a beast, and with a Z97 mobo, you can overclock it and it will work right out of the box without having to flash the bios.

2. 8gb RAM: It will really help in light multitasking, and ram hungry programs.

thanks again.

an i5-4130 + h81 board > G3258 + Z97 board. You can also overclock a G3258 on an H81 board without too much trouble.
