CPU:
Pentium G3258
GPU:
GTX 750 1GB SuperClocked

better overclocking support, support for much higher-clocked memory, 4 DDR3 slots, PCI-e 3.0 (though tbh we'll pretty much never hit the max bandwidth for 2.0 in our lives lol), more SATA ports (6) and no SATA 2 ports, etc. Totally up to you though.

MSI B75MA-E33. think you dont should spend more mony than that, if you dont wanna upgrade in the near future. You dont need fetures like sli and you still got support for ddr3 1600mhz and 1 sata 6

Prime ABGB Pvt Ltd @ Flipkart with almost 80% rating out of 100% with 177 Positive / 12 Neutral / 36 Negative Reviews

Also I would recommend 2 x 4GB RAM instead of 2 x 2GB, as it will help when you play latest and upcoming games. So get this:

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC DRAM (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R)

Let me fix my intention.

Im not going to overclock much, so im not gonna buy fans and stuff....
Is there anything that lets me overclock but is not so expensive and bit simpler?

I would like to know what budget you have in your mind. Also, the cheap motherboards will recognize G3258 only after you update the BIOS to latest - Meaning, you should either have at least a cheap Haswell as backup processor or borrow it from your friend, install on the motherboard you buy and flash its BIOS to latest. Then replace that processor with Intel G3258.
