2nd one. mainly because r9 280 is better than gtx 760

but note that you cant overclock your g3258 on that b85 mobo, if you need to overclock go for 1st one

Which mobo should I choose then? And should I keep the ssd or use it on different things?

Keep the ssd. or upgrade to i3 or i5 cpu.

I think that G3258 are only overclockable on z87 and z97.

You can overclock the G3258 on the H series boards (H81,87 and 97) and the B85

Shortly after the CPU came out...need a Bios update. Although if your planning to do an upgrade later a higher end board like the H97 might be better.

What is the full name of the mobo you recommend? And is that build the best it can be for 500 dollars? Please make edits to the parts list if you feel they're needed. I also heard that the "MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card" can get a lot hotter than the other graphics card in the other list.
