Excuse me... I'm looking for some advice from you guys :) 
So, at 2nd September i'm going to build a PC from scratch. But the truth is, i'm a little bit confused here, about the Processor and Motherboard that i'm going to take..

Should i pick:
1. G3258 + ASRock H87M, or...
2. Athlon X4 760k + ASRock FM2A88M-HD2+

Here in Indonesia, both build are priced the same. I've read about how G3258 butchered out the 760K in tomshardware test, but in the other hand, i want to see the possibility of upgrade in FM2+ socket, since AMD would be focused on this chipset from now on. Should i follow my curiosity, or build the first pick to be upgraded later on into 4690K?

Sorry if my English is not sufficient, but i'm looking for a good answer.

i'd get the g3258... now if you were talking about a fx6300 on the am3+ platform i'd have another answer for you...

So, what's your answer if i add FX-6300 + ASRock 970 Pro 3 as a possible option (which cost 40$ more)?

i would lean toward a m5a97 r2.0 or ga970a-ud3; but again... that's up to you.

I'd get the Pentium G no question - it runs circles around the 760K. Read this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pentium-g3258-b81-c...
