Well the G4400 has higher stock clockspeed and has slightly better IPC, i dont know about overclocking capabilites on it but on paper the G4400 is stronger.

But you need a LGA1151 motherboard for it and i dont know the prices of those in your country.

i know for the motherboard that they are different sockets. the prices in my country is g3258-around 75$ and for the g4400-around 70$

Get the G4400. It has a higher frequency plus its cheaper. Although the G3258 has better overclocking i think

Depends on if you're gonna be overclocking or not.

But i think the G4400 is a decent overclocker aswell since atleast on the higher-end, skylake offers better overclocking consistency (you have a higher chance of getting a decent overclock on skylake than haswell).

dont think pentium g4400 is overclockable
