So, I'm new to PC gaming so sorry for the newbieness. What I'm asking is will this build work well? The CPU is a Intel Pentium G3258. The video card is a MSI GTX 750ti 1085hz (Boost 1163MHz) 5400 MHz 2GB DDR5 PCI-E. The motherboard is a MSI H81M-P33. I already have two basic 4gb ram sticks with 1600MHz. I have a 1TB Seagate hard drive already too. Will it work functionally together? The additional question is will all of that build fit in this case (the harddrive and ram fits perfectly, I just wanna know if the others fit in it too) - here's the case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Advance-8102B0-Gamer-Plastic-Black/dp/B005G9D2T6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 The case is not particularly great but its all I managed to get it for free from someone (the case I've got is the same as the one the link, just without the graphics card). Thanks in advance.

The parts will work together. The mATX board will fit into that case. I use a similar GPU on this system and I have two G3258s. You can overclock the CPU quite a bit on that board and with the stock cooler.

If you can afford it, I would recommend the i3 4170 or i3 4160. Modern games need more than the G3258 can provide.

Thanks. Do I need to switch anything out of my build for the i3-4160?
