I was just wondering if this motherboard the ASRock H81M-DGS R2.0 Motherboard is good enough for my system. Im not looking to SLI or have anything above 16GB of RAM and im only looking to put a Pentium G3258 CPU into it and maybe upgrade to an i5 later on in the year. This is my first budget build.
Also what are your thoughts on this build as it is my first ever and im getting into PC gaming as well is it good enough for a first ? I have a budget of 500 euro and this is what I managed to put together ---

CPU: Pentium G3258
GPU: ASUS GTX 960 4GB Strix
PSU: Corsair VS550 ATX
RAM: Crucial Sport 8 GB Kit
CASE: Thermaltake Versa H13
 
Solution
If your budget is 500 euro, I think an i3 would be better in the long-run. Games are starting to get really picky about dual core. If need be, you could get a cheaper case, but definitely get an i3. I would recommend the i3-4160 for your budget, but honestly whatever works for you, man. Good luck.
