G3258 Budget Rig

[skaerz]

Hi wanna build a budget gaming rig using g3258. No need monitor, kb, mouse, ssd. Planning to OC with it.

Budget as low as possible (<1K) and able to support high setting in starcraft 2, dota, diablo3 etc. Majority processing is due to gpu i think.

Pls help. Thx

Fyi sc2 is cpu intensive. Im very sure its critical and if the cpu dual core cannot handle the load, you will see stuttering movements and laggishness when attacking.

If still cont with the above chip and budget only 700. possible?

 

[royfrosty]

Then you wont play sc2 properly. Sluggish performance also even if overclocked and running on lower settings.

Just perform slightly better, less than 10% improvement.

Asrock mobo = 3 years warranty
Intel cpu = 3 years warranty
What is ps? PSU? Different brand and different product provide between 2 - 7 years warranty.
FSP hexa provide 3 years warranty.
