You're correct that the i5-2500K is going to beat the G3258 in raw performance, but considering you're just going to be playing CS:GO and Netflix, I just wouldn't recommend investing into a Z68/SB platform at this stage in its life.
I guess at $250 it's worth the thought, but at $300, meh. I'd personally rather get something more current with a better upgrade path down the road.
$350 gets you a G3258, a B85M motherboard, 8GB DDR3, an aftermarket heatsink, and an SSD. Down the road, all you need to do is slap in a better CPU since you can reuse every other part.
But if the 2500K or the motherboard dies, you're going to have to have to replace it with another randomly used part. Sandy Bridge is three generations old and LGA1155 motherboards are almost completely phased out from retailers.
The G3258 is no pushover either when overclocked. I pushed mine to 4.5GHz and it had the same single thread performance as an i7-4790K!
As my 2c, I would just suggest you think about it a bit more thoroughly.
