Really, Thats awesome. How does it preform in video editing?
I would assume pretty well, Cause I can edit very well on my almost 2 year old laptop.

For video editing : FX 8350 = i5 4690 [/quotemsg

This can probably run GTA V and BO2 in reasonably high settings, it can probably max out the resolution on your monitor but be sure to overclock the G3258 for a better experience, you have the PSU Watts to overclock:

Tomshardware wrote an article about overclocking of Pentium G3258 and all go ceazy about that . But for me i3 4150 is better than overclocking G3258 . it is 26% faster than G3258 . So , no need of aftermarket coolers and insane overclocking.The G3258 is faster than the i3 when you overclock, and I managed to fit an aftermarket cooler in the budget as well, so he should be good for that part. Also the PSU I selected can easily handle the G3258 when it overclocks so really there isn't much of a problem.

Thanks to anyone who gave me any advice on this topic!
EDIT-sparestuff posted as I was writing I'll go with the Pentium most likely, But I'll think about it

Did you see my suggested build?You have enough money for a Haswell i3 and a R9 280 gpu.
A Pentium G3258 is a great replace for a i3 for budget reasons alone.
"That advantage is diminished by frame time variance numbers indicating hitches and stutters in several places"
So if you have enough budget for a Haswell i3 and a great gpu imho you should go this way. A little more? Haswell i5 for sure.

Anyway good luck mate
