O.K., so I'm building my girlfriend's family a rig for internet and whatnot for general use, and as a manager for her mom's online store (link at the bottom). And I was wondering what was a good i3 or Celeron  CPU to put in the B250M Gaming Plus Mobo that I have laying around from my previous build for myself, which is a 7th gen Intel socket LGA 1151. I can't find any information online and needed to ask someone, could someone recommend a good 4 core CPU for me that's on the cheap? again preferably an i3 or Celeron, maybe a Pentium, if there is even is such a thing as 4 core Pentiums. thank you for whoever finds me what I'm looking for!

there's no 4 Core i3 or Pentium.

but there's this, it's a 2 Core 4 Thread CPU, same as the 7th Gen i3.

in all honesty moving to a cheap i5 will be 100% better than a Pentium, i had a pentium g3260 (I think) and i honestly don't know how i managed now that i have a i5 4670, even doing light things was a struggle compaired to using the i5

I would say i3 ideally, but i can't seem to find a good deal on a 7th gen i3 cpu. You may have to go for a pentium. Unless you can get an i3 used locally or ebay for a reasonable price. Imho
