What is your overall budget for your build? I'm going to assume in USD as well.

You could try builds like these:

If anyone disagrees with the builds above just quote me and tell me what you think should be changed. No need to be rude about it. I did what I could with his budget.

I would personally go with either of the first two builds (I would choose the second one over the first one and just add another 4GB RAM stick in the future)
I believe the G3258 is fine for you. Don't think that just because it is a dual core processor / part of the pentium lineup that it isn't a little monster, because it is. It is also an unlocked processor and I would highly suggest overclocking it a bit.

**EDIT**
If you can stretch your budget of $450 a bit, as seeing the build in the OP is $500:

Just buy another 4GB RAM stick in the future.

wow this was very helpful i chose the second one and chose to replace the case. The graphics card on the second one should be better than my build shouldnt it?

Pentium is a no go unless you're going to upgrade soon. Dual cores are finally reaching the end of their life, so an i3 would be a better choice if you're going to hold on to it for a while.

$450 after rebates with a better PSU, case, motherboard and the i3 will last longer than the pentium.
