Would a G3258 be better if i overclock it you think?

To the 6300 at stock yes, but don't forget you can OC the 6300 if you want :D

Honestly, save up and wait for the Carrizo release during/right after CES so processor prices tick down a bit.

you think its going to be AM3+ still?

No, Carrizo is FM2+, but the prices of the 8320/50/70 and their respective E models will continue to decrease. So will some of Intel's I3 and I5 chips in response.

Anything less than this and you will be holding that GPU back.  No matter how high you overclock an FX processor, it will not perform as well as a locked i5 in games.  If you live near a Microcenter, buy your motherboard and processor in-store.  an i5-4690k + Asus Z97-AR is like $275 in-store and this is the best gaming CPU on the market right now.

Yeah, and I have my permit. I need to wait another 4 months before I have my license.

But if you can go $25 over, you might consider a B85 board so you have 4 DIMMs and some extra SATA6 ports
