Switch the CPU to Pentium G3258 , the mobo you have selected is able to overclock the Pentium to high clockspeeds, better then the i3.
The money saved with that you can get a GTX 750 or a R7 260x videocard, which is way more performance then the GTX650
Good luck!

Change the PSU to an Antec VP-450. WAY better quality.
Change the GPU to a gtx750 for the same price. WAY better performance.

No an overclocked Pentium is NOT better than an i3 in any scenario, ESPECIALLY gaming.

I'm sorry, but I do not believe you. I have seen tons of benchmarks that say otherwise.
What games are you seeing better performance in? Want to post some screen shots or a video?
The Pentium has bad stutter issues in many popular games that cannot be overcome by any amount of overclocking.

What games are playing? That is the question. Even with a huge overclock and a great GPU, games like Watchdogs and Thief have bad stuttering problems where an i3 in the same situations has no stutter at all. VERY common and well documented issue.
