Okay, and will it actually up my performance or would the pentium be better for it's price. (I'm looking to play CounterStrike with this PC)

Which GPU do you have?

The CPU power you will have available will improve a lot and you will notice that, but you also need a good gpu to utilize that extra cpu power.

That should do the job

Just don't expect a huge difference, in the end it's still an i3.
