G3258 and 8gb RAM or i3 4150 and 4gb?

[caveman178355]

As the title says, which is better, a Pentium G3258 and 8gb RAM or a Core i3 4150 and 4gb RAM? (with a gtx 650 non ti) for light gaming and work.

The i3 +4GB is the best option. You get better processing power, plus you can always add another 4GB stick if you need to upgrade.

Any plans on overclocking the G3258? If so, I'd go that route. If you don't plan on to OC, I'd go w/ the i3 4150 given your choices.

Well, if your not comfortable doing so, or really have no interest, then sticking w/ the 4150 i3 seems the choice to pick.
