Should I get this or this?

A Pentium G3258 and an MSI H81M P33

or

Foxconn H61MXV V2.0 Motherboard Bundle, Intel Core i3 2100 3.10GHz, 4Gb DDR3

 

(I already have a case, psu, gpu, hdd.)

 

The bundle is £75 and the mobo and cpu is £80/£90

 

Also I want to do editing, streaming and recording

I only have £70 and I have had enough with my shitty PC so I want to upgrade now and then I can buy an i5 in the future, I'm thinking of going for the G3258 and the MOBO because it has the best upgrade path

If that's the case, you should at least get a decent motherboard. You WILL be limited to what games you can play, also depending on what GPU you have. Or save up for an i5, which would be the best possible route.

You should really wait until you have enough money, otherwise you'll be assembling another crappy pc.

^this. Save up for a few more weeks until you can get at least a z87/h87/z97/h97 motherboard, and a decent I3. Going super cheap just means you end up with another disappointing PC.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.
