I am looking into building a budget gaming pc for my girlfriend and I mainly just wanted to know if this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Pt8Myc can overclock? Any parts missing I already have in person in case you are wondering. Since it is the Pentium G3258 and that thing loves to be overclocked I wanted to know if that could happen with this build in a mini itx form factor?

well, your missing memory. This is a good stick of ram. 4gb, if you like, you could add another 4 ( 8 total ) which is really recommended for gaming

and instead of the z97, you could use this mobo and save some money

I already have memory, OS, monitor, keybaord/mouse for the build. Also I thought intel was coming out with a micro update to stop all the overclocking on non z chipsets. Which is why I have a z chipset mobo in the parts list.

oh, well if thats the case, then stick with the mobo you have. Other wise stick with what you have.

Also, i see you have another thread, go with that PSU

Sorry for misunderstanding but which PSU do you think I should get? The Corsair or the EVGA? or if you have a complete different one in mind please let me know. I just wasn't sure if the Corsair one would be ok because the cpu connector on it is 8 pin (So it seems correct me if im wrong) and the mobo is 4 pin for the cpu.

Nah, go with the EVGA one SR recommended. the pins can be split so no worries on connections there
