Components Needed and have a budget of £250 not including the GPU. I have listed the components that i was thinking about so take a look and advise what would be bang for buck the best overall for performance.

So the 5 components listed what overall on this site what are the best for gaming performance.

CPU - Intel Pentium G3258 CPU (Dual Core 3.20GHz, Socket H3 LGA-1150) £60

Motherboard - MSI Z97 PC Mate Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX - £65 (Will need a good board for a bit of overclocking and also to install an i5 cpu down the line)

or
Asus H81M-PLUS Intel H81 £42

Ram - Budget £40+

Case - Budget £20+

PSU - Budget £40+

Will be getting in the next few weeks

GPU -
SSD 120 Gig
Monitor



Will Be needing A GPU in the next few weeks so is it worth getting 1 AMD card now so in the furture i can use crossfire or settle for 1 good card For around £100

Are you opposed to going used for a few components? I'm thinking you could easily pick up an R9 280/GTX 670/7970 for £100 which'll beat anything new
 
Thanks for the help guys.


For the CPU i have listed out of all the motherboards for around the £35-£65 mark what board comes out on performance and ease for overclocking , also in the next fews months i plan on upgrading the CPU for an intel i5 around the £150 mark.

The Z97 will be easiest as its designed for it.

It will also take Broadwell CPUs.

If you get a "K" CPU then just like the Pentium K they have unlocked multipliers.
 
Thanks for all the advice guys, so below is what i have ordered.


Intel Pentium G3258 CPU (Dual Core 3.20GHz, Socket H3 LGA-1150)


Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard


HyperX Savage 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 2400 MHz DDR3 CL11 DIMM XMP Memory Module


Antec True Power 550W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply Unit
