Hello.

I was just looking to know which of the aforementioned processors would be best for gaming.

Celeron G1620: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BX80637G1620-Processor-SpeedStep-Technology/dp/B00B2HH5GM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380996394&sr=8-1&keywords=g1620

OR

Pentium G2120: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Pentium-Processor-Virtualization-Technology/dp/B00922YV84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380996481&sr=8-1&keywords=g2120

I'm on a £370 budget, which means that with the Celeron, I'd be able to get a 7850, but with the Pentium, I'd only be able to get a 7790.

Also, would I see much of a bottleneck with either CPU?

Thanks in advance.

Get the Pentium, higher clock speed (3.1 GHz vs 2.7 GHz), better single-core performance and better for overclocking. The pentium also has a better Passmark score (3071 vs 2795). Pentium allows RAM at DDR3-1600 when Celeron only has 1333. You wouldn't see a bottleneck I would think.
