G3258 For New Computer

[MrGoogleplex]

My father wants me to build him a new computer for his basic accounting stuff that he needs to do at work.

 

Here are the programs he uses:

QuickBooks,

Most of office, mostly Word and Excel,

and Browsers.

 

I wanted to get some advice on putting the G3258 into this system. I know I can overclock fairly easily with this processor, and some research has yielded information saying that QuickBooks does not utilize multiple cores, so as far as I know the G3258 will be great for this task.

 

Let me know what you guys think,

Thanks!

 

 

P.S.

Here are the rest of the specs I'm looking at if you're interested:

Asus Z97-e

Crucial MX200 SSD 250gb

Corsair 2x4g 1600mhz RAM

Some 80+ bronze or better power supply at 450w

Noctua NH-l9i

Quiet case, not h440, because he actually uses optical drives a lot, maybe the Define R5

That motherboard looks a little overkill because you dont need a z97/z87 board to overclock that chip

Yeah it will be fine for those things.

The cpu will be plenty for his needs for sure though.

I know, haha.

I got it off of a buddy who ditched most of his rig for x99.

 

Thanks to the rest of you, I appreciate it.

Stock cooler is more than enough for this CPU. You can OC with it up to 4,3-4,5GHz. (Unless you want to build really silent PC).

 

If you can get Zalman R1 case get it. Is is basicaly Define R5 with sound dampening foam too and includes 3 fans and fan controller but is entirely made out of plastic. But is 3x cheaper than Define R5.

Silence is a goal here, I will take a look at the Zalman.

 

I'm hoping I can get to 4.5 ghz, but I read a few reports of people getting unlucky with their silicon dice roll, hitting only 3.9 but that is still more than enough I think.
