I am trying to build a basic system to try hands on overclocking. However as I am very new to this
so I need some expert guidence from you guys.
The items already purchased
___________________________
1. Cabinet-- Deepkool kendoman TI
2. PSU-- Seasonic SII 520watt
3. SSD-- 120 GB Samsung 850 EVO
4. RAM-- 2 X 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 ( forgot the model no)but supports XMP
5. Processor- Intel Pentium G-3258 ( Please do not raise your eyebrow
as that is the lowest
cost overclockable CPU I found here & I am a strictly no AMD lover).
6. Monitor- Dell 2240L
7. KB & Mouse- Logitech MK 450 wireless combo

The Motherboard- I have chosen the following models primarily-
a) ASUS Z97 K
b) ASUS Z97 A
c) Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H (ATX version).
You may suggest few more within this range(ASUS Z97 A is the price limit) from Gigabyte / ASUS
( not MSI/AsRock, because MSI RMA is very poor in my area , kolkata,India & AsRock has quality issue) & having ATX Form factor.
Now my basic criteria--
1) The bios should not look like a jet plane control pannel (must be simple and understandable).
2) It should be good for atleast next 5-6 years & having ATX Form factor.
3) Should be overclockable with stock cooler.
Actually I have kept my last budget reserved for the MoBo, and I will be upgrading to an i7 next
year. Hope the price will come down by then. So can not invest on a cooler or graphics card right
now.May purchase a cooler master hyper at the end of this year.
What I need to do
_________________
1) Run multiple OS on virtual terminals.
2) Highspeed internet browsing ( I have 4 MBPS connection only).
3) Light modern gaming in HD.
4) A safe OC of G3258 to 3.5-3.8 GHz.
Am I good to go? Please advice (specially MB b'coz I have not purchased that yet).
