I have a budget of up to 700€ and I'm thinking about buying the following PC and wanted to know if anyone could give me some advice. Is this Build still worth the price or am I better off just building a new one (probably with an i3 6100 and RX480 or GTX 1060) for about the same price?

GPU: R9 290X
CPU: G3258 auf 3,9GhZ overclocked
RAM: 8Gb DDR3
1Tb HDD
170Gb ssd
PSU: 850Watt Chieftec

Corsair Carbide 300
Samsung Monitor 2ms 60Hz
Razer Blackwidow Chroma
Razer Deathadder Chroma
Razer Mousepad
Logitech G430 Headset

I'm especially concerned about the cpu, since I heard of comptability issues with certain games (e.g. Far Cry 4) and I'm worried that there will be more issues like that coming in the future. I want my PC to be able to handle (non-VR) games for the next 3-5 years.
 


A G3258 paired with a 290X? I wouldn't get it based solely on the fact that it's a dual core. Is it worth it? yes. I'd also shy away from it because the owner has had it overclocked. Has that been for the life of the CPU? I'd say no.
