Hahaha, another staff member recommended it, now do I go with an ASUS or XFX card?

Depends on the exact model.

Ah. Will an RX 470 perform well with an i3 6100?

Yeah it'd be fine. Is this for a new build btw? Because if so, what's your parts list and what's your budget? Because, chances are, members of this forum should be able to put together a better build for the money (unless this is an upgrade/you've already bought the parts).

This is a new build, I have a 550 dollar budget, if you guys can help me?

I'm assuming gaming. Do you need peripherals, the OS and a monitor?

 Nope. I just need the parts to total up to 550 bucks or a little higher.

$50 to spare  Just saying, that Pentium has hyperthreading, it's basically a cheap i3 (and it's only missing a few instruction sets that you're unlikely to need).

What are the main differences between the i3 and the Pentium?

The Pentium is just missing AVX and AVX2, but that's about it.

Instruction sets that you really won't need if you're just planning to game.
