Save more money and get the i5, the motherboard will likely not hold up that well to a G3258 overclocked and that wouldn't be a significant upgrade from the G3220 anyways (unless overclocked of course.)

i have Asrock H81M-VG4 mobo (BIOS update to 1.40) with G3220 on it. but i have plan to change to G3258 and OC it. is it safe to OC on H81 board on long term usage? like the VRM, Mosfet etc, because this board only have 3 power phase on it (CMIIW). or just save more money on i5 4590 :huh: ? thanks  :)

as long as you keep around 1.2~1.250 volts you should be fine.

I guess, but depending on the CPU you wouldn't get an OC far enough for it to be worthwhile at 1.2V-1.25V (of course this varies though, I know that). And he may as well upgrade from a dual-core to a quad-core.

Yeah i mean of course it's worth the extra money but if you can't make up ~180USD for a low end i5. You could probably make like 4.2ghz at 1.2~1.250 rather easily on a g3258. even at 4.2 with a 750ti thats above 60 on siege in bf4. (medium 1080p)

maybe i just OC it to 4.0-4.2 GHz before i got beefier water cooling solution  :huh: . i mean is it safe for long term usage? because H81-VG4 only support up to 87W TDP processor meanwhile when OC-ing G3258 maybe you got a higher watt TDP usage (depends on voltage and clock) rather than Z87/Z97 board with beefier mosfet, vrm etc wich can handle more TDP  :huh: (CMIIW)

Safe? Most likely, yeah.
