It doesn't matter . If he chose 8 cores CPU for video encoding , he would lose performance in gaming
The main thing I like about the Pentium is low price . So that you have an option for a better GPU

I bet you haven't tried demanding games yet . Not even an i7 4770k @ 4.6GHz could run Zelda TP - Hyrule Field full speed all the time with LLE

Zelda SS is also a demanding game , not on the same level as Zelda TP Hyrule Field though
