my budget is too low so i had to choose between two processors,
FX 6300 and G3258
but i would upgrade my computer later(would take a yr or more). So, i'm stuck in choosing either of those processors because i heard multi cores are gonna be needed in the up coming games and fx 6300 is hexa core and g3258 is dual core, so the 6300 is in the upper hand. but i also heard that intel beats AMD in higher prices, so when i upgrade the 6300 to some other amd processor at the same rate of a intel processor, the performance would be less. the pros of g3258 is it's socket is LGA 1150, so if i upgrade my PC i dont have to focus on mobo.

Which would be better choice? by GPU is gonna be GTX 750 ti.

Honestly an i5-4690k does me really good and I do tons of gaming like AC Unity, Battlefield 4, and some of dying light. It runs smooth as a charm, and it's pretty good for budget builders if you're one of them. I would definitely prefer this processor hand down :). I can understand your budget is low but try to go for this. I can promise you it will pay off big time.

At this price range i`d spend the money on a better graphics card coupled with the 6300. A 6300 wil go up to a r9 280 without major bottlenecks
 
i've used i5 4690 in my brother's laptop, without a gpu. and most games work fine w/ good fps @ 1080p except ACU and FC4 which needs to be played on lower reso. i planned on getting it but since the time between my next upgrade would be high, i planned not to get one. the things i need in my PC are
• GPU
• CPU
• PSU
• MoBo
Cost:
300 to 400 $
ie, 20k to 25k INR

if you guys have any other suggestions on my build, post it. btw my current monitor's reso is 1366 x 768, and i'll change it to 1080p later. So, i want it to be able to play games a 1080p @ mid if not, 720p @ max is fine.
