Fun little build... not sure if its' Asus B85M-G R2.0 Micro ATX with the B85 Express chipset will offer much in the way of OC this Pentium K, even still great pricing. Here Tom's took a MSI H81M-P33 to achieve a low cost OC of the G3258, while reading the they (MSI) also proposed their B85-G41 mobo, so perhaps this Asus B85 chipset board might work.

the B85 chipsets do not overclock as there are no features in the BIOS setup for overclocking. this chipset is a "business" model intended on reliablility, not performance.

get an H or even better Z series for overclocking.
