Hyperthreaded Intel Pentium

[MRBROKEPC]

How good are the hyperthreaded Intel Pentium's for a budget gaming PC aimed at running older and indie games?

Which Pentium series?
The Pentium 4 HTs?
LGA1200 Pentiums?
LGA1156 Pentiums?

That's a lineup, and how well games perform is usually more related to the GPU you have. If you want a concrete answer you'll probably want to provide the game, gpu, and CPU.

Games like fallout new vegas, arma 3, day z maybe rust basically games i cant get on PS5, i was looking at the Pentium G6400 and a cheap 2GB GPU

Depending on the GPU and settings of the games you should be able to play them at somewhat decent settings, as these games just really aren't very intensive these days. At what settings and framerate however, is unknown to me. Might actually be better to get a 3200g. Also... PS5? So your build budget is around $500? Unless you're paying scalper prices for the GPU and that's sucking up all your money you should be going for higher-performing parts.

Im looking to try and find a good deal on a 1050 3gb card so i could potentinally play newer games but nothing major
