all i need to get is a motherboard and i will have all the parts...hopefully it will make a good second computer for basic stuff...i was going to go with an apu but went with the pentium for a little more compute power than amd cheap offerings...

I suggest the same thing too.

However if you can get a Z97 motherboard. Even though h97 motherboards can overclock now (against intels wishes), it will depend on what cpus can be overclocked on h97 motherboard and I don't know which ones they are.
