Ok here is the permalink. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/8yf2jX. PartPicker says its all compatible but my dad says that just because they are compatible doesn't mean they will work optimally. Can someone please have a look and verify they will work? If not post a modified version for around the same price. Preferable all Australian merchants.

I don't know why the EVO isn't listing on partspicker

Here is a review of the G3258

The Antec HCG is a much better PSU than the Silverstone or the Corsair.

Ive noticed that both of you selected 8GB ram. Is that because it is better quality then the 16GB I chose or because you needed somewhere to get more money?

Pentium is an old series but the chips are new. It's like buying a Samsung Galaxy. The series has been around for a while now but the galaxy S5 has the latest tech. In any case, the Pentium is a budget series, lower than the i3, however the G3258 has been unlocked for overclocking and performs pretty well. It's not going to do so well in very CPU intensive games and tasks such as Arma or DayZ, as can be seen in the review I posted, but for GPU intensive games like BF it performs very well for the price. Also Intel generally have better single core performance which is normally better for running games, as most games are not optimised for using a lot of cores. AMD tends to perform better at multitasking a lot of small processes or for editing and rendering.
