The i3 3220 is perfect for gaming and office. It gives a boost to your PC for any upgrade. Very good paired with a range of backgrounds graphic card as a 660 or a 760 now even if you will prefer rather then turn on a newer platform Haswell if you plan to change the motherboard and processor at a time. Very good alternative to the FX 4000 which, despite their extra hearts are barely at that proco. Buddle as always in a cooler intel to change urgently for the sake of your ears and processor.
