For gaming the G3258 is a decent processor, but for general use it is a little disappointing imo. The fact that you can overclock it like crazy makes it a pretty fast processor, if and only if you are not planning to do multiple things at ones. When I'm looking at a youtube video on one screen and browsing the internet on another screen I already notice the limitations of this CPU (I'm not using the igp). Other than multitasking it is a nice cpu though, just a heads up.

I like the idea, but I planed on overclocking the G3258 like heck (say 4.3 ghz) so that would be as powerful as a i3

My rig: r7 1700 @ 3.9/1.35v, 16gb ddr4 3200, assorted rando SSDs, hx 1050, vega 64 1650/1025

I dont multitask much. it will be used for gaming (war thunder on max 720p, csgo and things like that), and some light rendering which I can do with my $300 laptop (movie maker)

There are games now that will actually check your systems specs and if it's a dual core they will refuse to launch, and the amount of stuturing you get in many games that do not have a dual core lock on them is horeable even when you overclock it like mad.

well a quad core is absolutely out for the count at this price point...

The i3 has 4 threads and gets past the dual core lock because of this.

ohh okay
