Ok, so right now, my rig is a FX-4100 at 4.0Ghz, motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT, a MIS HD-7770(no OC), 8gb (2x4gb) ADATA DDR3-1333, 500w generic but supirsingly good for its $15 price PSU(i've used it several times, no problems), Thermaltake V4 case, and a Western Digital Caviar Blue 500gb 5,400 rpm laptop drive i salvaged from a friend's old laptop that had a broken screen.
I have to buy a new mobo/cpu/ram set for the home computer (the one everyone uses, this is my person rig), and so i was wondering what cpu was the best? I'm actually going to put my cpu/mobo in the home pc and use the new one i buy for me. Right now, i'm leaning to the Intel G3258 because at microcenter it comes with a MSI Z97 PC Mate Socket LGA 1150 for $100. the FX-6300 comes with a-USB3, also for $100. The gigabyte is pretty much the same mobo i have right now, just with added USB 3.0 (which i don't use anyways). I'm getting a thermaltake NiC C5 for overclocking whichever one i get. The main thing i want is something with SATA 6gb/s ports, because later on i plan on getting a SSD. Also, im going to upgrade gpus to a 270x or something around there, so i need a CPU that won't bottle neck it.

Thanks for the replies so far guys, i read a review on techreport of the g3258. They OC'd it to 4.8Ghz with the same cooler i was thinking of getting, and at that point it competed with stock speed FX-8350's, i5's, and even some i7's.

I'm probably going to stick with that, especially since the bundled mobo supports SATA 6.0gbs, so i can use a SSD at it's full potential, and then later on upgrade to an i5 if i need more cores. Oh and don't worry ill get a better PSU as well once i buy my 270x, but for now this PSU is good enough.
