If you don't know how to overclock or not confident/comfortable doing it yourself:

If you think you can overclock the CPU yourself:

Dnno, this is my first ever build. I have a moderate knowledge of how parts and things work since my brother made his about 7 years ago but beisdes that i think i might have some difficulty overclocking. Which would be my best option though IDK, i just want the best performance in terms of gaming.

the i3 is all ready done for you, so you don't have to worry about setting it up, just attach the cooler!

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 might not be the best CPU cooler, but it is quite decent CPU cooler and is plenty enough for the i3 530 since it is a 32nm CPU.
