this is the best you can probably do for 400. overclock the g3258 and youll be good to play some games. but id recommend saving up to $600

Thats for more of light gaming, to get anywhere your really going to want upwards of $700 

700 is usually the sweet spot, where you can get an i5 and 390

for what you get, you get a serious gaming machine capable of playing most games on at least high

[Bobulous_91]

Definitely get a z97, not an h97 If you get a Pentium or a cpu that supports overclocking. I doesnt matter if it costs a bit more but it is definitely worth it. It ends in k (e.g. i7 6700k) if It overclocks. unless its a Pentium. I would only get a g3258 if u get a Pentium.
