I was considering parts for a budget upgrade PC for gaming, as my current one isn't very good, and I had a few questions. 1. Can I get away with 4GB for a few weeks? 2. Will I be able to run H1Z1, GTA V, CSGO, League, etc? 3. Can I get a 4.0 OC on stock cooler with the G3258 and mobo? I am planning to upgrade to an i5-4460 and a GTX 970/R9 290 when I have the money next year. Is this build going to be able to hold it down for a while? I don't need to run games on max settings at 1080p, though it would be nice. I only want to spend $150 on the upgrades, but if I absolutely have to I can go $200.
