new matx budget game rig

[mymorph]

ive been away from this forum & building pcs for along time, i used to crunch seti for ocuk team long ago!

anyway, its time to build a new rig - but not for me any more but for my son.

looking at the G3258,

need advice on mobo for overclocking the G3258 & memory.

will also get a GTX750ti gfx
already have a corsair 450w psu & enough fans.

bang in a new budget matx case, maybe a ssd if i can stretch to it.

Overclcokers use the Asus H81M-PLUS to overclock int there bundles but any Z 1150 motherboard will do, You may need a bios update.

I wouldnt bother with the 750ti and get the 950 instead.
