G3258 , i5 4690k , i7 4790k are the latest Haswell CPUs from Intel . Those new CPUs overclock better than previous Haswell CPUs : i5 4670k and i7 4770k
I think you should get a cheaper CPU and use extra money on new GPU . Sth like EVGA GTX 750 will do
If you live near Microcenter store , you can get both Pentium 20th Anniversary G3258 and MSI Z97 mobo bundle for only $100 ($90 after rebate) . If you don't then just get the Pentium with Asrock Z97 Anniversary mobo
G3258 is monster at overclocking , it even surpass i5 4670k and stand as one of the three fastest CPUs for Dolphin ( G3258 , i5 4690k , i7 4790k)
