This is a really weird build... Did you buy this in one go or have you been upgrading? Mixture of own purchase and gifts?

Because you've stuck a £50 processor with a £160 motherboard, and have a 144Hz screen with a 6 year old graphics card which I'd be surprised if you got a smooth 60+ FPS, let alone 144+ on a title like CSGO?

yea it's a mixture of stuff.. old/new/gifts.

i got the mb as a gift, the kotetsu gets me up to 4.5 easily.. will try to get to 4.7.

1 thing for sure is that g3258 scales well with it's OC and you benefit a lot from it.

gpu is old, but it's fine for csgo, i play on minimal settings on 1024x768 and i get 200+- fps. i mostly want to upgrade the gpu because it's fan has become noisy and i cant stand it.. rattles like a mofo (but temps are good).

and i'd like that low temperature for zero rpm fan  from a gtx960/970 for when im not gaming.

@Minos I'm not an expert but with older machines you can make some profits, my father sold our Atari ST for twice the price he bought it. Well it was mainly because it was almost factory new, and it is useful for some musicians, but... still, wait 20 years and you could buy an Alienware with the money you'd gain!

I bet that mechanical keyboard is great for gaming
