Then you should know that its the processor which matters most in gaming and in other performance of PC, not the motherboard.

Ok, then get G620 + H61 chipset based motherboard, better than x2 260.

Comparison (almost same): *www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/190?vs=406

if you go Pentium G620 you have no choice of socket it is socket 1155 only because the procc is a socket 1155 procc. just that.

there's no H62 mobo ( and chipset too ) .. just get a any H61 mobo you want .. everyone will work with pentium G620/630.

err! Wrong method.
First choose the processor then choose a compatible mobo.

Sorry it was a typo. It would have been H61.

Talking sockets, LGA1155 is latest gen. You sould not buy last gen (read old) (i.2. LGA1156) rig.
