The Pentium G3258. Most modern games do not use multiple cores effectively, so you won't gain much with the i3. The Pentium is unlocked so you can overlock it. The Pentium is cheaper as well.

The FM2+ only supports AMD APUs.

No. The cpu will automatically shutdown at 90c. If it shutdown from overheating once, no damage will occur. Just try and avoid continually having temps 80c+
