Do you believe this can run GTAV CSGO and ETS2 at decent settings and framerate?

Yes it can, but that PSU is dodgy

Yes, but why bother? The B43 chipset used by this motherboard allows increasing the FSB significantly, just increase that to overclock the CPU. Make sure you use the lowest RAM clock speed while tuning the FSB and CPU voltage because increasing FSB increases both CPU and RAM frequency.

Thanks for your time

It is? I thought EVGA was a decent PSU supplier?

Thanks didn't think about that I was going to build all of this out of a Dell Optiplex 755 till I found out that the whole case inverts the motherboard

EVGA doesnt make good low-end power supplies, at all. More expensive ones are good though. Also, dont buy PSU based on brand name, since that tells nothing about the units quality.

 

Get this instead.
