*Unlocked Pentium.
Also if you are going to be doing any PC gaming I can't recommend the Unlocked Pentium to you. It is very crippled compared to even the i3 that you want.
Hexus benched it at 4.4 GHz (the highest they could get with the stock cooler) and it outperformed a stock 4770K and 4670K in every game (although the bottleneck was GPU-side, so they were all really similar). Anyway, there's no reason an overclocked Pentium shouldn't be part of a budget build that can't stretch to the 4670K.
