Just a little thought I had.
I will be building a computer for a friend within a few months, and we have a really tight budget. Originally we were going for the i3-4130, but I've been looking at the Pentium and it is truly an astonishing chip.
Would a Pentium, with an ASRock Z97M Anniversary motherboard designed specifically for it and a 212 Evo, beat an i3 if overclocked? In respect to gaming, that is. Because I could save my friend a lot of money by going for the Pentium and I would love to experiment with it.
