Good well rounded build, however, if you can stretch, I would recommend going for an i3-4160. It'll cost you an extra €60 on the G3258, but it's a far better investment. They both perform very similarly on many games, but in a few more intensive titles - Battlefield 4, GTA V, etc - the G3258K suffers dreadful minimum frames due to the lack of hyper threading.

It won't be an issue with CS:GO whatsoever to be fair, but it will be more apparent on ARK, as that's very CPU intensive.
