Hello everyone so made a quick buy on a killer deal on an r9 280 which was 90$ off and cheaper than r9 270's in my country (Canada)

I currently own a gateway desktop not a gaming machine I know. My friend got a 750ti so I decided to purchase a graphic's card to play battlefield four with him. My Cpu is an Amd A6-5200 4 core clocked at 2Ghz, I've been looking around and I stumbled upon a Pentium G3258 Unlocked. I am basically wondering once I overclock this Cpu will it be an improvement from the A6-5200? I also found a Gigabyte B85-DS3H motherboard which once you update the bios you can overclock it on.

So here's what i'm looking to buy
