What motherboard exactly? There's a lot of different stuffed for that socket, and some of it isn't cross compatible.

Did you get the motherboard from your friend too? And you already have the rest of the parts?

The only CPU you can get for that much would be a lowly G4560 or something, that'll only have 2 cores and 4 threads, anything higher than that is pretty expensive most likely, especially the i5s and i7s.

 

I'd highly suggest returning/selling the motherboard, and looking on ebay and your local used market, for a used Ryzen 5 1600 + B350/B450 board, that way you get a 6 core CPU + Motherboard for the same price as only an i7 6700/K which is $200+ looks like

Otherwise you're going to want to try to find an i5 6400, and maybe throw a fan over the VRM on that motherboard.I wouldn't settle for a Pentium in any event.
