2- 4th Generation Intel Core i3, 500 GB HDD

Which one should be preferred, at the same price, according to you?

I just wanted to say thanks iwanttobeamole for such an informative answer. I've been looking for information on the things you wrote about, but can never seem to find simple straightforward answers. A great help. Thank you.

Pentium 2.16 quad core is a 4th generation processor, supports only 8gb ram that's more than enough.
I own an Acer laptop with that processor and Nvidia 810M(for gaming, but use intel hd video por browsing), So far I could play Battleflield 3, 4(online too), Starwars Battlefront, and a few others...I was able to play Battlefield 1(online) a few minutes but for some reason the game crashed I think it was because I only have 4gb ram so I'm getting 4 more to try again...I do image and video editing, use two monitors(laptop and external hdmi conection) with no issues...for basic things and casual games is a great processor...nice battery life too...
