first build overclock

[Fatguyliftss]

Hey guys,

 

I'm new to the tech tips and I'm planning to build my first pc. Since I've never done this before I got some info from youtube mainly from linustechtips and cult of mush and some main gaming pc builders.

 

I looked for parts and found what I consider to work together and able to run most games on mid to high settings with reasonable fps.

 

I've got a question about my processor though because I have no experience with overclocking. I decided to use the Intel Pentium g3258 since its cheap and unlocked. Will the overclocking demand a lot of time to learn or is it easy? 

 

I don't have a lot of money to spend absolute max is 700€ so I went with a msi 950 and an evo 212 cooler. 

Gigabyte ga h97 d3h 1150 socket or msi z170a g45 2x 8gb hyper x ram 1tb hdd and a 750 be quiet powers up ply plus some extra fans. I plan to buy a full case but my question is: will these parts work together or should I change anything? Msi mainboard vs gigabyte? 

 

Thanks!

please spend those 20 dollars more for a gtx 960, performance gains will be huge. Also you can use a much lower psu with like 400-500 watts sth like the be quiet system power 8.

You want a z-series motherboard (z97).  Not entirely srue if you can overclock with that Chipset.

 

Edit: read too fast.  didn't see you had the msi board listed.  you can for sure oc with that MB

since you want to OC, you'll need a Z mobo, cuz H mobos don't support overclocking and i believe this would be better :
