Intel i3 3220 vs 3225

[Rockstar11]

Hello,

I am building a new PC and my usage will be surfing, movies, games like gta vc and other low end ones.
I am on a budget of 10000 for CPU + mobo, I wont be adding a dedicated GPU now or in the future.

I am confused about i3 3220 and 3225, I am not planning to get an AMD APU as trinity hasn't launched in India yet and I am leaning more towards Intel for its reliability.

Also which mobo should I choose?

I have the following components with me right now,
NZXT Gamma Cabinet, DVD writer, Corsair Vengeance 4gb DDR3 RAM, Corsair CX430v2 PSU.


Thanks a lot

so which Processor you bought ?
i3-3225 or i3-3220?

and whats current price of i3-3225 ??

wait for the A8-5600K - should be priced @~6k and get ASUS F2A85-M @ 6.8k

i was also going to assemble a pc with core i3 3220 in April...should i wait for A8 ....and will A8 supports pci 3.0 bandwidth

^^ no pci-e 3.0 support but what difference does it make unless you are opting for top of the line performance gpus and April is a long wait and by then you might see and want to get FX-6300.
