Questions:

-How will this build handle most games in 720p medium settings?

-Can this build run GTA 5 at any settings at least at 30 fps? 

-Are all the parts compatible?

-If I overclock how big of a difference will it be on games?

 

Specifications of the build:

-CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.20 GHz

-Motherboard: MSI H81M-E34
-GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Superclocked
-Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 430W
-Memory: PNY DDR3 1866MHz 
-Storage: Western Digital 1TB
-Case: Fractal Design Core 1100
-Operating System: Windows 8
-Wifi Card: Asus Wi-Fi Adapter
 
More information:
 
-I am willing to upgrade the Video Card, HardDrive, and Motherboard. Cannot spend much more though.
-I would of bought a better CPU but it was a gift to me and I cannot afford to upgrade that at the moment.
-Please leave any information that I need to know of on this build.

Followed it, And I already own the Pentium so sadly I cannot upgrade for like 4 months. And what GPU would you recommend?

At 720p, you should do pretty well. Only suggestion I'd make is to get a Corsair, EVGA, Coolermaster PSU instead

CPU: i5-4690k GPU: 280x Toxic PSU: Coolermaster V750 Motherboard: Z97X-SOC RAM: Ripjaws 1x8 1600mhz Case: Corsair 750D HDD: WD Blue 1TB

Already bought the power supply, Will my current one still be fine? Also thanks for the info man.

Oh yeah you should be fine anyway. The other brands I listed are just my preferences. Assuming you'll have a good warranty on it, it'll do great.

Thanks man! I started to get worried because I was searching it up for a while and a lot of people were saying it won't run it at all, Then I got the idea to post this on a few forums and every reply I got said it can run it so now I'm relieved haha. Also one more thing will overclocking be needed? If so I have no idea how to do that.

430W should be O.K. 

 

Not knowing prices in your country, but personally I always sacrifice looks for performance, if you really need a case then just get the cheapest one you can find, Also you might be able to save a few $$ dropping to 1600 ram,  then you will have more $$ to put into the GPU, I wouldn't go anything less than a 270 and tweak it a little.  Your mobo is fine and you won't gain anything from the more expensive ones. With GPU's the bigger you can go the better, but stay away from the entry level upto about the 750 because that's just money spent on disappointment.

Yeah, people forget that GPU's and CPU's are a lot more efficient now than they used to be.  Back in the day when a GPU could draw upward of 40AMPs from the PSU, you needed a big one so you had headroom for other important stuff like CPU's and cold cathodes etc.

The case is only $35 that is listed, I already bought the RAM sadly. And I am pretty confident with the build now, I will be upgrading my CPU in a few months maybe the GPU as well. thanks for the comment!

On the pentium, I'd definitely recommend it, you should be able to get a decent 3.8Ghz on the stock cooler anyway. And there should be plenty of good guides on the internet on how to do it. 

 

Also, you just gave me an idea, I'm going to make an oc guide over the next couple of days, so watch out for that.

Oh this is the last thing I promise lmao, But can the motherboard work on my PNY 1866Mhz ram sticks?
