CPU: Intel Pentium G3258
GPU: MSI AMD R9 380X
Mobo: Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX
RAM: HyperX FURY Series 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1866MHz
SSD: Crucial BX200 240GB 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive
This is my dedicated gaming PC build. This build comes up to 500e not including PSU, case or any external hardware which is around the price I'm willing to spend for these components.
I would love if you guy could share any input on possible better options I might have overlooked. I went for the best reasonably priced GPU and skimped on the CPU as I have heard the G3258 is fine for gaming (especially considering the OC potential), at least for now.
Motherboards I don't know much about but I hastily chose a well priced Z97 one as it is a relatively new chipset.
Some specific questions I would like to ask are:

Some specific questions I would like to ask are:
Will there be any significant bottlenecking of the GPU by the CPU?
Are the components I chose optimally compatible ?
What PSU wattage should I safely look into. Specific PSU recommendations are appreciated.
Will there be any good upgrade options for the CPU considering it uses the LGA-1150 socket ? I don't want to have to buy a new mobo when I just want a faster CPU.
