I've bought everything for this build except for the CPU and the PSU. Like an idiot I didn't factor the MIR and am short of money to complete the build. Now my two options to fit my budget are

A. Buy a refurbished version of PSU and keep the i3 4160.
B. Buy a new version of the PSU and downgrade to a G3258.

I'm building this PC for gaming, mainly to play CS: GO at higher FPS, preferably 120+. Which do you recommend I do?
 
B.

For $550 no OS -

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor ($69.98 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($28.99 @ Micro Center)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($93.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($78.98 @ Newegg)

Total: $539.39
 


I've already purchased all the parts except for CPU and PSU. But yeah I was leaning towards the G3258 and just overclocking. Thanks for your input
