If I go for the G4560 I have the chance to buy a RX470 which is a great combo for gaming, which I do ranging from eSports games to AAA/GPU demanding games. This all sounds pretty great but most but I've read that AVX isn't supported by the 7th Gen Pentiums which apparently plays a big part in rendering. If I went for the i3, I'll have to stick with a GTX 1050, not as good for gaming as the RX470 but it would kind of get the job done. I would be rendering around 5-15 minute videos, but it all depends so max 30minutes.

Is there a big difference? I was waiting for Ryzen but sadly the R3, line of Ryzen that would interest me is only going to be released on the 2H and I've already got half of my parts laying around collecting dust and I don't have the ability to wait for half a year.

Thanks in advance to whoever answers!

P.S.:The Pentium is 50 bucks cheaper where I live.

For gaming, performance between the two chips will be pretty similar, especially when only using a lower midrange GPU. The i3 does get AVX instructions which can help out a fair bit for video editing and rendering depending on what program you use and if it supports AVX. GPU acceleration can also help with those programs so you'd have to see if your programs support CUDA or OpenCL acceleration and buy accordingly. CUDA is only supported on Nvidia cards while OpenCL works with both Nvidia and AMD.

A pemtium while all be it a competitive budget friendly option is just straight up older. The i3 is running on older architecture too but it's slightly newer then the pentium. Either would be an okay option but I think you should consider the i3 and 1050ti combo. This duo is honestly the best budget friendly option I can think of for the price. Google some 1050ti benchmarks you might be impressed with what it can actually do. Again it's all down to you. I don't know your pc top to bottom and I don't know the kind of projects you'll be doing besides gaming so if your guts telling you one thing, I would follow it. The new generation of i3 is very good however, finally an unlocked Hyperthreaded dual core processor! Hope this all helps! :)
