Greetings experts of pc.I need your help!
I just updated my old af system which has:
Cougar spike case
asrock h81-gl
8gb ram
intel pentium g3258 4.0ghz(OC)
rx 480 dual 4gb asus
corsair cs550w 80+gold
windows 10

so...As you can see i have a rx480 that was the update and now i can play every game i want(wow,eso,cs,totalwar,ow,rocket league,lol,hots,civ etc at 60+fps on ultra,some games even 150-200+.So far so good,the only problem i have is i wanna play some bf1 and gta v but my cpu is so bad and my money are extremely limited so i have to wait a year before i buy a completely new mobo,cpu,ram.I wanted to ask you,my friends sells me for 20 euros a corsair h55 water cooler.My question is should i take it? If i oC to 4.5 or even to 5(if i tweak voltages) i think cpu demanding games would be playable(i think)

is this a good cooler?Should i keep my money and buy better coooler?
thanks for your time i hope you will answer me :)!

Agreed. You don't need a whole new rig. A 4430 would probably be a great fit and enough to get you where you want.
They go for $200 new, i'd bet you can find them used without too much difficulty.

A cooler ultimately isn't going to help things much anyway. If you can get the OC above 4.5 you're going to be running into stability before heat in most cases. I don't see any need to keep the G3258 extra cool, just OC it and let it get hot - who cares, it isn't going to get hot enough to burn up.

Even if the cooler was purchased, and thermals were a problem, and you were...

Even if the cooler was purchased, and thermals were a problem, and you were able to get it up to 5 - its still a two thread CPU that just won't cut it in modern games.
