Alright

Pretty good, however you may want to get a beefier CPU cooler like a hyper 212 evo and a Z series board to do some overclocking on that CPU to get a bit more performance out of it.

Besides that its a great build

Z series boards aren't optimized for the pentium g3258 personally every time I've used them the they performed less than when I used h81 boards for overclocking

Ah, just don't use stock cooling if you plan to overclock.

Obviously I meant with the pentium g3258

If you have the ability to wait, look into that new (possibly) overclockable i3 instead of g3258, as you'll get better performance out of an i3.

i get stable temps at 4.0 ghz with the stock cooler but if I overclock to 4.5 ghz I'll definitely get the hyper 212 evo

I got lucky and got my g3258 to 4.7 ghz but temps are way to high

If what you want is overclocking, a locked Athlon X4 845 is guaranteed to be more fun because it will have you messing with the BCLK (you can do that on AMD CPUs of this gen). It's also a more capable gaming chip.

If you're gaming on your system you may want to replace the hard drive with a WD blue 500gb SSD, they're rather cheap and have decent performance.

I'd personally have gone with an i3 at the minimum for gaming these days. Too many games will use at least a dual core these days and that'll leave you almost nothing for your OS to use in the background.

 

You can find an i3 4150 for pretty cheap around online, ebay and the like. It's what I'd do... >.>;

Ew no. AMD < Intel here. I'd never try to game on anything branded 'Athlon' right now. It's like the new Sempron. It's just not what it used to be.

Source?

I can tell you this: Multiple games today will tank performance or flat out refuse to boot (thanks to Ubisoft for that one) on a CPU that can only handle two threads. These Pentiums aren't gaming CPUs anymore. That and the Athlon will do just fine paired with a GTX 1050.

Which games won't start exactly? FailCry 4 and FailharderCry Primal? LOL like anyone cares about those. AMD uses a platform from 2012 and Intel uses one from 2015+ right now. There's NO reason to bother using AMD for anything. You limit yourself so heavily by going with AMD. At least with Intel as he is, he could snag an i7 and upgrade his GPU without the fear of bottlenecking. Only the most heavily threaded Triple-A games will use the top FX chips too. BF1 works fine, but that's only because it can use the full CPU.

 

The number of games that don't work aren't the games that are actually PLAYED today, and that needs to be the point here. More cores doesn't mean it's a better CPU. If it did, AMD wouldn't be bankrupt right now and betting it all on Zen now would they?

I guess nobody plays titanfall 2 or any of the forza games on pc either... Yes those do not work on anything that doesn't have 4 threads.

so should I get a amd athlon x4 860 or x4 845 ? there roughlty the same price for me right now

The 860K is an easier overclocking experience because you can play with its multiplier. Also if you're gonna OC, don't cheap out on the motherboard lest you pull too much power and set its VRMs on fire (if it's got a heatsink over the power delivery area, it will do fine). If you don't like the stock cooler, the best aftermarket I can recommend for you is a Deepcool Gammaxx 400. It should go for the equivalent of $25, and is amazing performance for the money.
