Both are somewhat comparable for now.
My guess is that the ageing 3470 is overpriced and not a good long term buy.
The B250m motherboard will support much higher cpu upgrades.
In addition, the G4560 HD610 graphics may let you defer on the discrete graphics until
you know better just how strong your graphics needs to be for YOUR games.
So far as I know, DDR4 ram starts at 2133 speed, no 1600 speed.
1600 was for ddr3.
Love the ssd; how big? who makes it?
Perhaps you should post the make/model of your proposed parts list.

Userbench shows me this: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3470/3892vs2771 pending to i5, also because it has 4 real cores but I don't trust userbench very much, also because that's not gaming benchmarks.
The 'work'/processing heavy stuff that will be done on the PC are very simple Office tasks, so even a celeron from last century would be OK
So it only matters the gaming performance of the CPU.
My mistake, DDR4 is 2400.
I just love Samsung SSDs so for either machine I would upgrade it with
+ 250 GB Samsung 850 evo (best price/quality around my country, 100€ around here)
+ MSI GTX 1050 Aero ITX 2g oc (130€ around here)

The i5 3470 is better, it has four physical cores and the G4560 has 2 physical cores and two virtual cores. Virtual cores are much worse than regular ones, the yeah, the i5 wins.
