Use the Pentium's iGPU until you can afford a decent dedicated GPU. OC the Pentium if you want, I've seen someone hit 4.3GHz with the Pentium on that board with stock cooler so you'll be fine for that.

At your budget, you cant afford a GPU with a whole system. I mean, feel free to buy a 300USD GPU but you'll have nothing to put it in.
