How good can a H81M mobo be in 2018 ? I need it for a build thats going to be placed in an old xbox 360 case. Also, what would be the best cpu for this chipset ? I have a HD 6670 right now that i plan to put together with the mobo, but if some good deals pop up on ebay, might get those.

How good it is really depends on what you want to do with it. There's a lack of (native) support for new hardware for example. 

 

Best CPU for it would be a 4790K. It may be worth looking on eBay for a used i7 4770 though, as the older gen, non-K CPUs can often go fairly cheap.

Also, the board is AsRock H81M--VG4 R3.0 - I can get it with a Pentium G3260 for 50 euros. Is it worth it ? 

Also @Oshino Shinobu, i said that i want to build a PC inside a case of an xbox 360. As the board is pretty small, it could do fine. Throw a HD 6670 and a HDPlex at it, and its good

It comes to your usage. Haswell CPUs are in excess in the used market as long as you dont aim for the fastest.

 

HD6670 doesnt outperform the HD 4000 iGPU in many Haswell chips by much. I would rather use the integrated stuff and save a bit of power.
