Gaming-wise, the core I5 is the better option because of it's 4 PHYSICAL cores over the pentium's 2 hyperthreaded cores (2 cores/4 threads) for how hyperthreading affects gaming performance watch this video

for budget build this pentium will stay relevant because of it's performance given it's low price
