that cpu brand new costs like £35-40 or so....
the cpu is more of a entry level cpu, so it would be dumb to pair it with a high end motherboard designed for high levels of overclocking and multi gpus.

BUT, since its older, its not really worth that much, since you can get http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Pentium-3-00GHz-Extended-Technology/dp/B00EF1G9DW/?ie=UTF8&qid=1404348880&sr=8-1&keywords=pentium+g3220 for the same price and its a LOT better.
so id say, yeah you probably got shafted...
Yeah that cooler shouldn't be an issue. I've got this low profile Zalman on a 125 watt processor and don't have any issues.
I wish I could provide a good article on the difference between dual and single channel. This is the best I could find, but basically the difference is mostly negligable even when gaming. You could still get two 2gb sticks, but if you ever wanted to upgrade you'd be forced to get two new sticks. Which was why I just recommended a single 4gb stick and then just grab another 4gb if you felt you needed 8gb.
Other than that it looks good. If you wanted you could downgrade to a Pentium G3220 to save even more money. I use a Celeron G1610 for 1080p video and in-home streaming and it works flawlessly. But if you have the money to get a stronger processor I'd stick with it. Up to you.
Highly recommend this CPU. My Plex server as well as a few friends are running with it and it works like a dream.
Thanks for the help! Could you help me with picking a CPU?
I picked some without the k
Intel Pentium G3258
Intel Pentium Processor G3220
Intel Core i3-3240 Dual-Core Processor
Sure, but it's two years old...
Intel G3220-dual core on a ASUS H871-PLUS MoBo (with 16GB DDR3) in a SilverStone Tek Premium Mini-ITX and eight 2TB WD NAS drives.
Running FreeNAS.
Haha, yes, maybe cryptos will make it into games soon. Thanks for helping with this. Everyone else seemed to say it was OK, but I really was unsure about the slot! What do you think I should go for? Something like this:

From what I have observed it is best to get ribbon unpowered risers when using the ASRock H81 Pro BTC board. This is due to the board accepting the extra power needed for the additional cards straight through the motherboard itself.
You can use something like this and just not plug in any additional power to them.

Also you need to get a socket 1150 cpu like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Pentium-3-00GHz-Extended-Technology/dp/B00EF1G9DW/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1396017680&sr=1-1&keywords=g3220
I run this CPU in my mining rig and have had zero problems.
Sorry for the second reply, but would this chip work for flashing it? http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3220-BX80646G3220/dp/B00EF1G9DW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411356132&sr=8-1&keywords=Intel+Pentium+G3220+Haswell+Dual-Core+3.0GHz
