Buddy, will your say that even next year or maybe 2-3 years later, when G2020 will struggle to run the then apps? If OP can get i3 3220 in his budget, then what's the problem?

i too feel i3 as this pc will be used for at least 2-3 years without any MB / processor upgrade.

If OP can spend 7k+ for processor then why not AMD Fx6300 6 core 14 MB cache ?

is it better? i and my friend both are slightly biased towards intel and have not used any amd till date. he may go for it if it is better than i3.

The i3 has an IGP.

integrated graphics?

> 1600MHz ram for future proof, to upgrade ur processor+MB in future. I know th extra bandwidth will not be used by g2020 but its good to have a good ram

> for monitor, I have done some research in 22-24" category with better color accuracy. And I finally zeroed with AOC i2369vm AH-IPS panel 23" monitor around 13k

> If I'll buy a processor worth 7k budget, I'll definitely buy AMD Fx 6300 6 core 14MB cache. It will surpass any i3/i5 with same or higher price.

not dell s2440l?

when MB / processor is upgraded, he will get higher speed ram then. btw, he is not gonna use any overclocking any time soon (next 2-3 years :D)

for amd, same question as asked above.

TYVM for the suggestions friends.

1.No.FX-6300 will require a discrete GPU(1-2k extra),also it is a wee bit expensive than the i3.And you will be forced to buy the Asus M5A97 R2.0 EVO(8-9k) for "Overclocking" to make your pc "future-proof"
2. Integrated Graphics Processor

cheaper boards like gigabyte ga-78mlt usb3 has onboard graphics(which i think is faster than intel igp afaik) can be paired with fx 6300.so he may not need to go with a dedicated gpu.
 
^ I can play ALL games at low to medium settings including GTA 4, GRID 2, ME 1,2,3 and even Crysis 2 ran well except a few explosion scenes. ANd this is on i3 2100, with HD2000. HD3000 is much faster.

it will be. how ever i dont really know the performance of intel hd3000 over amd ati hd 3000 or viceversa.

oh man why you think i3 and i5 have low performance :| who said you that ?
I did not say Intel i3/i5 processors are of low performance, rather said, for the same price or even lower price one can have much much better AMD solution than Intel. Its everything about money honey. AMD is always value for money which respects your HARD EARNED money well than Intel.

Gigabyte ga-78mlt usb3 mobo need bios flash am3+ before putting fx 6300

Stick with intel

should be working as that processor is listed as being compatible from the F3 BIOS revision, which was released in October last year. so I would now expect this or a later revision to be included on any boards shipping now.

not in every price segment. athlon IIx2 will not be able to beat pentium g2020.
