Buy a kaby lake cpu bundle.
Here is a G4560 which includes motherboard, 8gb of ram and the stock intel cooler for £165.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pentium-Motherboard-2133Mhz-Crucial-Pre-Built/dp/B06VWR794Z/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499139242&sr=8-1&keywords=g4560+bundle

It will have 4 threads vs 2 for G3258 and be stronger.
No need for anything more than the included stock cooler.
Sell your ddr3 to recoup added costs.

Wait, the motherboard wont work without a bios update and i dont have a 1151 cpu to update it.

Mister_007 :

it comes as a bundle. so it will have the latest bios. if u read the reviews there, buyers said it all worked perfectly. so fingers crossed that it is updated
