There's nothing much you can do under $400.

If you are going to leave it at 4gb ram, get 2 x 2gb 1866 for about the same price. - Works better.

if you have a local micro center the g3258 and msi z97 mb on 99.00 combo deal.

EVGA 500W 80 Plus:

You will have to update your z87 motherboard in order to use a Pentium G3258.

PS: Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 for $39 @ Newegg. Do you really rather buy a DDR3-1066 Memory for $38? save one dollar? really? 😀

I can't quote all of your or I would but the ram is taken into consideration and will be changed, also I know about having to update the UEFI to latest to get g3258 working.

Also I trust Corsair Products a lot more than EVGA personally have had a few EVGA products fail on me in the past but I was considering the evga500

Also are you 100% sure that deal is still going on ? If so I am going to have my friend buy it and send it to me

I know they're $12 more.. but you gotta have some decent RAM for OC

and definitely want Z97!
