The g4400 is overall not more expensive. Where do you see that an g4400 setup would be more expensive??????

And overclocking a g3258 makes no sense. You either know what you doing, get a beta BIOS update for the h97m main board and still overclocking will not give you a nice result since that main board is simply not made for overclocking. OR you pay 50$ extra, get a Z main board that supports overclocking. But with the 50$ you could simply by a i3 that will beat the overclocked g3258 by far.

Now please tell me where my thinking process is wrong because it seems logical to me and somehow you two seem to agree on the g3258 as the better choice. I am getting very confused.

And i really want to know why you think skylake is more expensive?
Skylake: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j3f93C - $245.90
Haswell R: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ChD8nQ - $250.80

To make the builds comparible i took the same manufacturer for each part. They cost exactly the same. Minor differences depending on current sales and discounts excluded.

3258 o/c vs g4400 non-o/c is a $15 difference, given that, why wouldn't you chose the g3258 over the g4400 non-oc?
only a $5 diffence between g4400 and g3258 though

Well.. first of all the g4400 can not be overclocked. The multiplyer is locked.
Second: 3258 o/c vs g4400 non-o/c is a $15 difference ??? 184.95 - 149.97 = 15 ?? looks more like 25$ to me.
Third... what?? i dont get what your posts are supposed to tell me.
