Solution


Only problem is how is he going to update the bios in the motherboard to work with the cpu?
 


It is going to work without a BIOS update however it will need an update to overclock
 


G3220 has no potential and is shitty for gaming , the H81 will require CPU refresh for some chips.

The G3258 with the B85 Combo can handle a GTX 760 and R9 280 without any bottlenecks and has crazy overclocking potential.
