im really on tight budget.Im going with this build at least 2-3 years.

Pentium G3220 3.0GHZ
Asrock H81M-VG4
Kingston Hyper-X 4GB 1600MHZ
Sapphire HD7790 2GB OC Edition
Gigabyte Herculas 580watt

im using this cpu for gaming but not at max setting.Just on medium at 1600x900 resolution and 1920x1080 (if playable FPS I get on newer games).I see at youtube people are play watchdogs with ultra setting at 1366x768 with R7260X but I think hd7790 is similar with R7260X right?I going with this build because I really want to play GTA V coming next year but I know I have problem running with Core 2 Duo.i was thinking if people can run watch dogs why cannot run at GTA V.I know Pentium G3220 is still Dual Core but it faster dual core and can compete with i3 4130(some people say it).The problem is does the H81M-VG4 is supporting the GPU HD7790 2GB and I want to add 4GB more ram as soon as posible after I buying this rig.Im going to use my old cpu case and other components.the only things I buy just that I mentioned above.

If you can get the g3258 similar price range, which is overclockable, games should be playable at high settings. You could still use that h81 board, but the bios needs to be updated. an updated bios will support g3258 overclock.

GL with your build

Yes, actually I want to get Pentium G3420 3.2GHZ but it take $13 that I cannot get it.But I got question does H81M-VG4 support i5? I want change it maybe after 1-2 years if I get enough budget and 200MHZ extra on processor helpful in gaming?
