It is as good as it gets. But you'll probably have problems recording gameplay (a lil). I would prefer you just save up for an i5/i7

Prefer an i3. Will a pentium run any game. It seems it has a bad reputation

i3 will struggle with recording and gameplay too. The pentium is more of like a subsitute before your bigdog CPU (i5/i7) comes in. There might be some bottlenecks in certain games.

But looking at your username TEEMO4LIFE you probably play league right? Dont worry the pentium will hold up pretty well in league. 

That's why i would rather have you save like a hundred dollar plus more for an i5

Dont underestimate the pentium
