so in my previous post i found out that an intel processor is better than the other AMD processor i had in comparison. Can someone tell me if the bellow parts are reliable??

build: 1
i3-4170
BIOSTAR B85MG Ver. 6.x LGA 1150 Intel B85 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
8gb Gskill Ram
1tb wd caviar blue
Deepcool tesseract white w/window
CX430 (don't have anything else :/)
Zotac 750 ti 2gb SDRAM ddr5

Build 2:
G3258
ASRock h97 anniversary
8gb Gskill Ram
1tb wd caviar blue
Deepcool tesseract white w/window
CX430 (don't have anything else :/)
Zotac 750 ti 2gb SDRAM ddr5


My main concern is the Motherboard in build 1, its very cheap yet it has a pci x16 slot and usb 3.0 front panel ports, yet its cheap... and motherboard that are more expensive don't have such features...

CX430 will be replaced in 3 months with XFX 550w

What about the biostar motherboard? will it be reliable? Its very cheap and has features more expensive boards don't have.... but it has a low price so it has to sacrifice something somewhere right?

Build 2; This pentium g3258 is overclockable; the i3 not, the rest of these parts are pretty reliable, the pentium itself is overclockable, the h97 anniversary can overclock the g3258,

but you wont be able to change voltages, only the clockspeed, so dont expect high overclock on this board, for bettt oc results you might consider a z97 board.

I want to play far cry 4 tho :(, and more and more games are having 4 core minimum requirements.

Ill get an i3 in 3-5 months w/new PSU if i buy pentium now.
