Overclocking the Intel Pentium G3258

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade my pc and my question is:
    If I buy the Intel Pentium G3258 cpu what mobo would be overclockable to suit this socket?
    Is there anything else that I should be aware of before going down the road of Overclocking?
    I will be running Autocad 3D programs and my pc at the moment just hangs every time I open the drawing so a upgrade is required asap with very little budget.

    Cheers

    this: ASRock Z97 Anniversary, Sockel 1150, ATX, is generally one of the cheapest z97 mobos (€60), the z97s is the only ''offical'' that allow overclocked but asus released a few budget mobos that allow it recently.
    if you want to overclock, the stock fan may not be enough so you may want a liquid or better air cooler, it really depends where you want to get it
    it also voids any warrenty with them unless you get the overclockers insureance (€15 about for that cpu)
