I've recently decided to purchase the parts to build my first gaming PC... this is the rig that I have in mind:

-CPU: Pentium G3258
-MOBO: Gigabyte H81m-h
-GPU: an old Gtx 560 Ti 1gb
-RAM: 2x4gb 1600 Mhz
-PSU: Thermaltake 430w Tr2
-CASE and HDD: I'm using the ones of my old desktop PC.

I understand that the only way to see the potential of the G3258 is to overclock it, the problem is that I don't have any more money to spend in a cooler and I wanted to know if it is possible to overclock said CPU until it reaches 3.9-4.0 Ghz without the use of a cooler.

Also I would appreciate If somebody could tell me if this rig is going to be able to handle games like GTA V, Arkham Knight, Fifa 16, the newer COD, Witcher 3 etc. In medium settings, 1080p and around 30 fps (which I guess is enough for me right now).

Thank you very much and I just want to say that I'm really excited to access the world of PC gaming for the first time.

PS: I cannot save in order to buy an i3 or a better GPU cause in my country the exchange rate is a mess right now and it will be too expensive.
