No no, you didn't get it. I'm taking about a motherboard change in future, like say 3-4 months, for usb3, sata3, etc.
For now I want to stick with the cheapest possible

For now you will spend 2.5K for mobo and then 4 or 5K for another mobo rite? I dont think it is wise to change mobo two times ... It would be better to get a single 4 or 5K mobo now and be happy.

In that way you'll be ultimately spending 7 to 8k on final motherboard, whereas you can get a good one now for less! Is that too complicated to understand?

Op,If you've planned an upgrade for later 3-4 months then i suggest you keep your monitor,and get a good MB+CPU combo(Intel Route),Play CS 1.6, Angry Birds on it for time being :-D.after 3-4 months ,maybe GPU Prices will come down a little and get a Monitor and GPU "For Less price" than now. . .its like they say . . . "No Pain no Gain"

So, I checked the local shops, and found that the I5 3330s is available for 9500 only (including taxes).
Now, according to the Intel website, the chip's specs are almost identical with the 3330 (i.e: max turbo frequency, cache, etc.) except it has a base clock of 2.7 GHz and the TDP is 65 watts.

However, even after a lot of googling, I could not find a review of the chip.

Do you guys have any idea whether it's a good buy? How does it compare to the 3330? Better yet, can anyone direct me to a review of said processor?

Buddy, the Intel S Suffix processors are power saving models which consume run marginally slower than their normal counterparts but also consumes less power. Check the price of normal 3330 and if the price difference is not much, get the normal version.

Man if u wanna cut costs, then get 7850.

dont change mobo after 4 months buy a better monitor instead with that money.

good mobo decent gpu sooner monitor upgrade is saner and wiser than bad mobo little better gpu useless mobo upgrade

also 7850 is a very good card so u can game pretty well

Yeah, but how well ddo they perform? ^A benchmark would be of great help....^
The price of normal 3330 is around 11k

Anyone heard of a model of i5 @ 3.1 GHz? One of the local shops is selling that for 13k only (Includind Motherboard).... Should I get that?

EDIT- He says the TDP is 55 watts ... So it's not the 3450

G2120 <-- For 3.1ghz and 55w tdp. Only match. 13k seems too much for this one.
Infact 13k is too much to pay for any locked intel proc.

^^ He is able to get an i5 at sub 10K price point which is good. There is not much performance difference between a i5 2310 and a i5 3450.
