Motherboard for Pentium G3258

[Dom86]

Hi
I have a G3258 from a friend and I want to set up a cheap little gaming pc, what options do I have if I wanted to overclock it?

a lot of info here:

Non-Z boards may have some limitations, my H81 board lets me adjust the multi but my max RAM speed is 1333mhz.

Msi H81M-P33 is cheaper than chips and can run RAM at 1600Mhz. Used to build with them @ work all the time. Recommended.

If you want something higher end the ASRock Z97-Anniversary was designed for the 3258 and is a great solid board, but costs more.

Thanks both of you, that helps a lot now to a source one.
