Pretty good rig, Its a good entry rig but if you're gonna use that Pentium processor your gonna want an aftermarket good cooler and some overclocking, then you can gun games like Grid Auto sport on Normal 720p 40+ FPS. All depends on what games your playing. This GPU is the AMD equivalent of a GTX 970, so if you have extra cash you might wanna get an I3 or an I5, Especially because the MoBo can run with a i5 - 4460 and a 4670K, Just look up benchmarks on Game Debate about your processor, Because with that Graphics Card your processor will be used at its full potential. Hope this helped. (Refering to upgrading CPU : http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81M-HDS/?cat=CPU

hi, thx for the reply.. from my limited knowledge, that pentium can be Oc to 3.5 ghz on stock cooler (stable) and for such low end mobo, we cant change the voltage/multiplier to overclock more than that right:??:

also, what is your opinion about R9 380? i think my PSU can handle that beast and will the pentium bottleneck the R9 380 or at least will it be on R9 370?

all those component cost me 362.63 dollar, so should i make the jump on that gpu?

thx for your time
