thought of a possible problem. i'm not sure if the cooler will make a clearance over the ram.

it should be fine

[TheBlackParrot]

even some games that don't require a lot of graphical power need 4 cores. what do i do about that though?

if you feel like you need 4, save a little longer and buy an i5, or go AMD if you're impatient.

might save up more for a new psu since this is the one i have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153166

kind of scared of the reviews that it's gonna take a stuff on me sometime in the future.

[Trymos]

that's the most important thing.

emulators? mmos? fps? office 365?

also gimme full spec list that's also important

Dude a pentium will not help out much here, new or not if your on a budget you should probably look at AMD's offers, just stay away from the anthlon line and the a6, A8, A10, FX Series would be better.

If not save your cash and get yourself an i3 or i5.

Also put more cash into the gpu and less into your cpu, cpu is important but just remember its not the one that will be doing the graphics related work.

GTX 730 is a nono, for the extra cash from not spending much on the cpu, get yourself a gtx 950, and entry level gpu's are kind of a joke considering some of the high end intel cpu's (i5, i7 recent gen.) integrated graphics can actually outperform them.

windows 10

You can save a lot of cash buying Windows 7 or 8, 8.1 and using the free upgrade offer instead of buying the OS for the whole price.

[hillkill]

?? why would i need to get windows 10 when i have it?

also, so i should get like an fx-4300 and some am3+ mobo?

never mind, it's 80 bucks for it

[Niblic²]

if ur really desperate you can go buy used parts from places like reddit.com/r/hardwareswap or whatever

[hillkill]

i'm not that desperate tbh

also, the g3258 is a good processor if oc'ed to 4 ghz. there's videos with the g3258 and a gt 730 and they play games like gta 5 and the witcher at medium to high settings at about 40 - 50 fps
