Adrian Almonte · Apr 8, 2015

Pentiumg G3258 Or Fx 6300, budget cpu with upgrability options, has the title said, for my budget i just can get one under 100, i can upgrade the cpu in 2 or 3 years, maybe less, i want to gaming, and maybe multi task, like music with gaming, exploring, or something little.

I have to say that if i buy the pentiumg g3258 i can buy a 30 cooler and oc it to 4.5 or 4.7? because i will if i can, then what cpu i may get?

Neither, get an i3 4160, fx has no solid upgrade path and the 3258 suffers from severe stuttering issues.

Adrian Almonte :

Don't bother with a Pentium G3258, it's a dual core, which means it is a potato on steroids. While on the other hand, a FX 6300 is a six core that can be overclocked, but only has one upgrade path that being a AMD 8 core. So I would try for a cheap i3 since then down the road you could pick up a used 4790k i7 and then have a nice rig. Make sure to get the H97 chipset since then you can use the next gen CPUs with it.

Drop the WD Black and get the 1tb barracuda st1000dm03 and get 2 x 4gb sticks of ram for dual channel. Other than that this is an excellent build.

Dude as i know i can`t oc with a h97 socket, but with a z97 yes.

i saw the msi global z97 mate, and idk if is better than the asrock h97 in the build.

Yes it is better, if you can find a Z97 on sale, that's excellent too.
