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

You could try builds like these:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
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?

It's honestly up to you. You're the buyer, I'm just giving you a few options.

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.
