I posted days ago of maybe choosing an Intel based cpu [g3258] for my gaming pc.
But I had seen this CPU with 6 cores which is perfect for my gaming habits [Streaming Music and ALT-TABBING to my Facebook at the same time *correct me if I'm wrong about my core utilization understanding.]
So I need help choosing the right parts for making a good, solely focused on gaming PC.
GAMES I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY :
Dota 2, CrossFire (yes its a game), Soldier Front 2 and some browser games from Facebook i.e Dragon City
WOULD I STREAM/RECORD?
No. Just gameplay.
PERIPHERALS YOU OWN? [PLEASE HELP WITH THE MONITOR TO CHOOSE]
Would buy together with the build but I'm a dummy on choosing gaming monitors, but for reference I want all those titles I written to be maxed out at 1080p, as smooth as possible. Maybe turning on VSYNC & Anti-Aliasing for Dota 2 and Soldier Front 2.
DO YOU WANT TO OVERCLOCK?
No. The stock cooler would be enough.
WILL YOU UPGRADE THIS BUILD?
Yes. Maybe 2-3 years
This is too long to read and I appreciate those who would read

If you're not going to overclock the Pentium or the FX6300 then I'd stick with the Pentium too. You can overclock the Pentium on the stock cooler a little though so it would be worth considering.
the games you mentioned don't make much use of lots of threads so you'll be better off with a CPU that has really strong performance per thread even if there are fewer threads in total.
Going with the Pentium also gives you the opportunity to step up to an i5 in the future

but how about streaming music and alt+tabbing facebook at the same time? wouldn't it utilize the cpu @ 100%?

OK. no need to go with the G3258, you're not an overclocker and that's fine. The best solution for you would be an i3 as an i5 is just a bit out of your budget. At stock clocks it will outperform the FX6300, especially with the tasks you perform.
The biggest advantage of the FX6300 over the i3 is that it's a good little overclocker but it's also hot, slow (especially at stock speeds) and the motherboards that support it are yesterdays news (infact they're so old they're last weeks news!)
the i3 is modern, less power hungry, doesn't run as hot and has hyperthreading. the hyperthreading addresses the multitasking issues you're concerned about as it many situations (including the ones you describe) it performs much like it has 4 cores.
I'd suggest a build like this

As you can see, I've had to drop the GPU to a lower model to keep around your budget and I'd really recommend an after-market cooler with the FX6300 as the one it comes with is terrible, overclocked or not!

Oh, I though the RE3 was based on the Caviar Black
Never mind, there's this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-driv...
32Mb of cache is plenty (I discovered fairly recently) and there is almost no notable difference between 32Mb and 64Mb

thank you for the good suggestions
Would the first build be upgraded in the future?
I researched about fx6300 and they say its a good cpu when overclocked, and seeing those performance by single core convinced me to go with g3258 again [i'll only execute tasks one at a time].
But I am low in budget for a decent gpu that can run such titles, [Even Soldier Front 2 suffers @ Radeon 7770].

Thank you for keeping up with my thread. I was convinced on going to pentium g3258. Does overclocking it gives me better performance? Would I need an aftermarket cooler? or the stock cooler will do. I don't care on investing more money on mobo and psu. I just need a futureproof gaming rig. My original budget is 741$ for gaming rig(os not included) & lcd monitor for 1080p

Best solution
This is what I'd consider a decent G3258 build. You'll get good overclocks with the motherboard and cpu cooler and the cost saving has allowed a big step-up in gpu performance. It's a little over the budget before rebates but quite a bit below budget with them and the monitor is an ips panel so should look very good

I'm just near to finishing this
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C6PRnQ
but you had filled in most of the gaps.
But I think that gpu is overkill for my games
Well, Maybe someday if I get interested in mainstream gaming titles.
Now all i need is a 1080p lcd monitor.
I don't need 4k or ultra. just decent 1920x1080
can you help me out once more?

With all respect to the other builds , I don't believe that the g3258 is something that will last for 3 years even when overclocked and as a matter of fact if you're going to add an after market cooler for it then you might as well get the i3 which will cost about the same and deliver greater performance .
While the 280 is a better GPU than the 270X , its slightly overkill for the games mentioned . It might be good for the future however the 270X will do just as good in modern AAA titles.
N.B : If you want to upgrade in the future to broadwell then you might consider a H97 Motherboard , which will still be within the budget.
