Budget gaming PC, pentium g4400 or core i5 6500

[Nextime04]

Good day.

I've been wondering recently about which CPU I should buy, I recently became interested on the Pentium g4440 because it's over clocking capacity, but my question is which one should I buy, compared with a 3 months used i5 6500 with a cost of 142 U$D; it pretty much would cost the same at the end due I would add a water cooling system to the Pentium processor. and also I would like to add, as a motherboard I would be using a gtx 1060.

Thank you.

The i5 6500 will out perform the G4400 easily. Get the 6500.

I would atleast get an i3 6100. The difference between a Pentium and i3 is pretty big. Your fps will almost be cut in half with a Pentium.

You can always oc the 6500

Get an i5 6400 new for about 170 USD. You might be able to get it cheaper at Microcenter. They always have good deals on CPUs. I got my 5820K for 320 at Microcenter.

Even the i5 at stock can beat the G4400 due to it being a quad core, since most games see a large benefit from 4 cores over 2

Definitely i5 6500!

The GTX 1060 isn't a motherboard, it's a graphics card.
