I honestly don't get why we're recommending a Dual Core. Dual Cores are yesterday's tech and the only thing I would recommend that has 2 cores are Intel's i3 series which has 4 threads and better single threaded performance out of the box. Also if this is a htpc why would you overclock? It makes way more sense to get a build that works for you out of the box then to build something that you have to increase Heat output and electric output which is kind of important when building something like a HTPC. Plus the fan will spin faster to cool the Pentium resulting in a loud fan which he doesn't want. It would be way smarter to buy the i3 then the Pentium g3258. Plus a i3-4130 + MSI H81 cost less then a Pentium g3258 + MSI Z97 + a silent cpu fan.
