i5 2nd Gen vs i3 4th Gen vs Amd Phenom X6

Hi,

My Current System Configuration is :
Amd Phenom X6 1055T
Gigabyte 880GM-UD2h
6GB DDR3
1TB HDD
Antec 450W SMPS

The Mobo+processor were purchased in Feb-2011
The motherboard of my current system is not working and needs to be replaced.
The local shopkeeper is giving me a new basic MSi Mobo @ Rs.3300.
But I am skeptical, as should I purchase a new Mobo investing this much money ?

Now I have 3 other options :

Amd Phenom X6 {old processor} + MSi Mobo {new Mobo}= Rs. 3K
i3 4th Gen+mobo = Rs. 11k
i5 2nd Gen+mobo = Rs. 13K


The system is only going to be used for Internet Browsing, some occasional small games.

Guys, please suggest as to which option should I go with.

Go with these:

Intel Core i3 4150 -7800,
Gigabyte H81M-S1 -3600.
TOTAL -11,400.

Go with the first option. Its a lot cheaper and your uses are very minimal
