yes it is, have fun.

If you can, go with an R9 270 GPU or R9 270X for more performance at around the same price...

R9 270 VS GTX750ti:

If you wanted to save 30-40$, you can go with the G3258. It's way cheaper, and offers basically identical performance. Plus, its overclockable. Here's proof:

Then you could spend that money elsewhere.

cpu boss is complete gargabe you can't rely on this as a source for anything...a 3.4ghz i3 play games much better than a 4.5ghz pentium...here's the proof from my video collection:

The core i3 is a much better gaming CPU regardless of the clockspeed of the pentium...the pentium can't even launch farcry4, dragon age inquisition or CoD:AW and probably many other games to come has well..the i3 can.

The core i3 cpu's can feed graphics cards up to the GTX770 or R9 280X quite consistently in most AAA games, the appropriate GPU for an overclocked pentium is in the order or a GTX660 or R9 270 TOPS.

It can launch all of those games, and play them at good settings and framerates.
