you can't run much with a pentium processor , i switched from my skylake i5 to my old haswell i7 and the difference was noticable , let alone running games with an i3 or a pentium in your case . your best shot is counter strike .
But i have seen many youtube vids where ppl played fifa 15, garry's mod, and etc..
maybe garry's mod , but my own experience , i switched from my skylake i5 to my old haswell i7 for the reasons i explained earlier , and the difference is much noticable ! it's much cooler and everything runs much smoothly eventhough it's an old cpu .
i know the i3 simply can't run some games because it doesn't have enough cores . not an fps drop , but it simply would give you an error message on the start up . ; let alone the pentium processor which is not for gaming at all . pentium is the new celeron ...
if you're tight on the budget why not try AMD ?
