Pentium G3258 HD 7950?

Will this pair be fine? It has a very strong single core performance, and i could overclock it to 4 ghz eventually and throw a hyper evo cpu fan on it. Also, the price on this CPU looks great. Sorry for the noob questions, and thanks for the help!

The H97 board won't overclock. Get the Z97 board. Otherwise the GPU is just fine with that.

Does that look better? Also, would you recommend dual channel ram, or single channel?

 

[Karsten75]

Yes, that's a much better config for overclocking and dual-channel RAM is always better than single channel. Make sure you match the RAM in each slot, eg. 2x2GB or 2x4GB, etc.
