this will make a great entry level gaming pc. the g3258 and z97 mb is 99.00 combo deal at micro center. if there not a local micro center near you then swap out the z97 for h97 mb for savings. the intel mb will drop in another 150 cpu if you need it. left off the gpu for now as the intel cpu has onboard video. 22-24 inch monitors run 100-150.
