I would suggest listing your budget and current build. In my opinion a Pentium is not a good pick for a CPU except in extremely low budget situations where you will upgrade later and keep the board

Well this is actually part of a long term system upgrade , I currently have a gigabyte r9 270x , 8gb of kingston ddr3 ram clocked at 1600mhz due to cpu bottle-necks , 600w cooler master and an amd x4 750k with an equivelant cheap mobo , wich are going to find use in another build , so I am trying my luck with intel's little overclocking beast . do you need any extra info ?

I think your current system is fine, and switching to intel Pentium would not really improve things. However if you want to hand off that CPU/board to someone else. You could argue for an intel based system and then upgrade the CPU later.

Also my opinion on long term system upgrades is DON'T do one. And the reason. The parts will always get cheaper. And you are better off to save your money and buy all the parts at once. Then handdown/sell off your current system, minus the parts you want to keep. But of course if you NEED/WANT to hand it off now then yes an intel board is the best place to be on a new build.

Don't have one off hand for this particular situation but you may get a response. Also here is the guide on asking for upgrades/builds which may help

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice

AND if you google "pentium g3258 motherboard"
the first two links are tomshardware posts with people asking for the best motherboard for that CPU... I'm just saying. Google usually gets you faster answers.

I directly suggested stating your budget in the thread, not the title where it will be missed, current build, and reason so other people could help you.

I also stated my reason for not changing it based on your current build which many people who ask these sort of questions would not know. But understood why you may want to.

I gave you a direct link to the tutorial on how to ask for upgrade/build advise which may help you.

I gave you direct links to two tomshardware posts where your exact same question has already been asked and answered with motherboard recommendations.

That is a significant amount of suggestion that may help you, on a thread that may get no other responses. If you don't want to look at the free help you got pointed to that's up to you.
