That board will OC the pentium at the push of a button, the kingston memory you picked is not great, and I dropped to a slightly cheaper cooler that should still be plenty for your 54w processor. The 270x is a great GPU.

Questions?

I dont planning on oc my gpu neither cpu in any gaming sittuation. I dont even plan on getting an aftermart cooler so it doesnt really matter. The memory got me chosen it cause i see on sone thread that the cpu dont support any more than 1333 mhz. I picked the gtx 750 as its cool and silent, dont require a 6 pin pcie port. And do you think the g3258 gonna bottekneck the 750?

No it should be fine. But the G3258 was built to be overclocked, the board I selected was built to overclock your g3258 as simply as possible (see picture below) and if you aren't planning to overclock then you're missing out on 30% of free performance boost with this CPU.

The memory you chose - I was more concerned with the voltage than the speed, there's little difference between 1333 and 1600 but you can put in whatever speed the motherboard supports so 1600 makes more sense (in case you upgrade the CPU in the future)

Is a low power rig more important than actual gaming performance? Because that's the impression I'm getting.

Yea you got it right somehow. After 3 years with the gma x4500 and looking foward to other hardcore games, i really in need of a good gaming rig. But with the little money i can spend, i dont want a rocking gaming rig. And also my reqs are not much cause i have a 1024x960 monitor only so performance is not a problem as i see the 750 can handle almost all games on that monitor and i like this card alot lol. So please help me, with the g3258, gtx 750 and the mainboard you pick, could you make the other componment as 'budget' as possile?
Oh and actually i planned on getting a gtx 750 non ti, how much it gonna cost? Thank you

Once again thank you so much for what you've done so far :D

I changed the mobo and dropped the cooler, the g3258 will still OC well on this board if you need it though - with the gtx 750 it's less important to OC right away I think, but know you've got extra CPU power in the tank if you need it (even with the stock cooler it will OC a fair bit).

Is $100 cheaper ok?

All my god i didnt know it could drop so hard like that, even better than i could imagine. But will the cpu will handle the gpu well in gaming with its stock speed and if i even try to oc the cpu to 3.6-4.0ghz will the stock cooller do the job just fine? And i thought that i would oc the gpu using the gaming app, will it do it just right? Anyway thank you alot :))
Oh and i live in Viet Nam, do you think they could ship these that far for free? Time is not a problem :D
