Hi, I'm building another rig and I'm wondering, is the G3258 and its integrated graphics is good enough for LoL, hearthstone and Runescape all in 1080p?

Also, is the FSP 300W SFX PSU reliable or should I go for a more expensive PSU? (no GPU in the build only CPU. Also need SFX for the Silverstone ML 05)

Any problem with this build(like overheating)? Usage only for the 3 games mentioned above and web browsing, video watching. Will I need to get a smaller CPU fan?

Asrock H97M - ITX AC + G3258 $270
8GB G.Skill Value RAM $85
1 TB W.D Blue $75
FSP 300W SFX $65
Silverstone ML 05 $109
Win 8.1 @ G2A

All prices from PC Themes other then Win 8.1

I think LOL not quite. Should consider running discrete.

Or wait till broadwell out. Broadwell is igpu power house.

I using my I5-4460 can run LoL at 60fps on low settings so g3258 should be can right?

Pentium G IGP only got half the amount of EUs of HD 4600.

For the time being, if you die die don't want to have any discrete graphics. Do consider AMD Kaveri platform..
