Mkay, so basically I have got everything that I need, but I need help to check the compatibility with all of the systems, eg if the CPU can even be put into the motherboard. So yea. Here are the links.

I don't really want to edit the parts too too much but obviously if parts are incompatible I will have to switch. Thank you in advance for any help

I'd recommend waiting for AMD Zen (Provided it's somewhat similarly priced as today's FX series) or pay more for the intel route. Unfortunately imho AMD is not very viable today. It's not terrible but it's definitely better to go for intel or wait for zen.

Would the Intel G3258 4 Pentium 3.20 GHz be better that the AMD FX-6300? Because that is the only CPU I can afford without going over budget?

What is your budget? The CPU and Mobo are not compatible

Most people would go with the intel route because you can upgrade it to an i5 or i7 later, and also the G3258 lets you overclock it in any lga1150 motherboard if im not mistaken

I believe the performance will the same or even better if the pentium is overclocked considering the fx6300 is equal to a haswell i3

That will do very well and if you don't mind looks and just wanna a solid build you can downgrade to the Rosewill FBM 01

I have just realised that the price rises a lot when in NZ, i would recommend buying from a US website with alright shipping to NZ.

I just wish that there was one currency, If you dont mind buying from US and with $ you would be alright but i assume you are not happy to do this.

Hey just a quick question, if I modified the CPU from the original design I had to be a i3 6100 would that be compatible with everything? Also thanks a heap for helping me here

Yes it is a bit annoying. So if I were to change the CPU from my base design from the AMD FX-6300 to a Intel i3 6100 would that be beneficial/compatible?

Yes I would not invest in a coming on 6 year old processor
