So I got a deal on Pentium gold core and was wondering if it would be a decent budget core

Pentium Gold g5400.  $64

Seems good paired with an older GPU

According to what I can find that should be able to feed up to a 1060 6GB or a RX 580 8GB for ~60 FPS @ 1080P pretty easily.

CPU intensive games wouldn't be as much of a pleasure. Games are supposed to be more multi-threaded in the future.

Quote for Truth. If it's a CPU light game you're okay, if it's CPU intensive... prollums.
