g2358 gtx660 worth it?

[lordquednau]

I found a used PC with these specs

Case. Corsair Carbide Series 200R
Motherboard. Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 3
Cpu. Intel Pentium G3258 3,2GHz
RAM. Corsair Vengeance LP 2x4GB 1600MHz
Gpu. Asus GTX 660
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB
Power: EVGA 500W White 

I'm planing to buy it as a base and upgrade it over time. 

Will mostly be used for gaming but not The newest AAA releases.

They are asking 2500sek (300 US dollar)

Is it worth it?

It needs a PSU upgrade asap - that W1 is TERRIBLE and likely to cause issues. Other than that, the Pentium is not going to be performing good in most modern games

Depend on what you are playing, seem like a good deal to me. That's a Z97 Mobo so if you decided that the CPU is too weak or bottlenecking ur GPU you can swap CPU to a i5 4690 or i7 4790-ish without swapping the mobo too. GTX 660 goes for about 100$ on ebay, I'd suggest you spend about $200-ish more and get an i5 4690k for around 150-160$ or i5 4460 for around 100$ and another PSU.

SeaSonic S12II 520W or M12II EVO 520W (M12II is modular)

I would actually suggest a higher capacity PSU, around 650-750W mark, so you dont have to worry about PSU if you decided to upgrade other part or getting SLI. Seasonic is a good brand, EVGA also have some good/cheap PSU like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b10750vr

That particular EVGA unit is quite mediocre at best. Their B1, W1 and NEX series are to be avoided. G2, GS, GQ, B2, P2 - all good
