While a nice deal if it works to OC... anymore there's information that it's hit or miss depending on the date Intel released this Pentium G3258 processor.
Consider you can get a 970 Extreme3 R2.0 ATX and a FX 6300 Black Edition for $130 at Microcenter and that overclocks to like 4.2Ghz no issue with any decent Aft cooler like Cooler Master HYPER T4 for $20 -AR$10. But either are good budget builds.
I suppose the upside to a G3258 if you don't find a good OC'r, you could just move to a used Gen3 i5. I don't believe Ivylake forward will work with this B85 chipset, so you're as **** to this as an AM3+ build.
