Hi.
I'm thinking in some different builds since Christmas is coming in 2 or 3 months and welp.. i wanted to wipe doubts..
Would the EVGA 400W work with this PC?

CPU: Intel Pentium G3250
Mobo: MSI H81M-P33
RAM: Crucial 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Cl11
GPU: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB
HDD: Toshiba 500GB Sata 3 7200RPM
Reading: Samsung / LG / Lite-on 22X SATA DVD±RW Internal Drive (Very basic)

Thank you in advance for reading, greetings from Uruguay <3

(And no, i don't plan on playing Battlefield, Crysis, CoD or any heavy game, i know i'm using a Dual Core CPU, i actually want to play a really low amount of games so don't worry)

CL9 = CAS9, yes. It isn't a huge difference, but I believe it will be enough to be noticed. In a budget system like this, every little bit helps. Plus or minus 3-5 FPS may not matter much when you're getting 70FPS anyway, but if you're at half that, it may make a lot of difference in playability, or allow higher settings to be selected.
CL11 RAM can be run in dual channel, if you get two identical sticks.
You don't have to overclock the G3258, but if you can't get it, then it's a moot point. It just gives you an option to get more speed out of your system, which may help as games and other programs become more demanding. Of course, at some point you will have the option of upgrading your CPU to an i3 or i5.
Although it's not a great PSU, it will be sufficient for that build (which may not draw even 150W). If at all possible, switch the CPU to the Pentium G3258, which is unlocked and can be easily overclocked, even on H81 boards.
Also, look for CAS9 RAM; a pair of sticks will run in dual-channel mode and be faster.
 


1) I don't actually want to Overclock, that's why i didn't chose it, welp.. that and that you can't buy it in Uruguay, which is the country i'm from xD..

2) When you say "CAS9 Ram" you mean Cl9?
Because i've read that the difference between RAM Latitudes isn't that big to be a problem.

Btw, the Cl11 RAM can be used for Dual Channel too, or at least i didn't found nothing in Google about it couldn't.

Thank you and Martinch for the answers tho, it helps a lot 😀

As i said in the main post, i'm not thinking in playing heavy games like BF, CoD, Witcher, etc..
Actually, i have a few goals:
-Minecraft
-Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3/Revolution/4
-Dragon Ball Xenoverse
-One Piece Pirate Warriors 3
-Saint Seiya Soldiers Soul
And maybe, the Assassin's Creed Saga except for Unity.

And yeah, i'll eventually jump to an i5, i just don't know when, and that's when i'll start to play some other games too xD .. (But when that time comes, i'll probably jump to a GTX 950 or 960 too)
