Pentium has more powerful cores and two of them, while the AMD has four pretty weak cores. I'd say Pentium is your best bet, but yes they are not interchangeable if you already own a motherboard.

use the website pc partpicker. it helps you pick compatible parts and gives you a rough price for the overall build

Don't use PCPP, it's a pain. Scan is your best option for components in the UK, really. Get the Pentium G3258, best budget CPU.

Scan is evidently better as almost every TTG builder uses it, but why is PCPP a pain?
(out of curiosity)

Doesn't usually take shipping costs into consideration, and it often gets prices wrong.
