What is the intended use of this system? Also, what is your budget, and where are you purchasing?

I like to think that it's Yen, and he wants the single most price-efficient system ever.

You can get quite a lot more than that for US$800. Hold on, I'll spec something out.

Could the i5 be downgraded?

Perhaps he needs hyperthreading for something. That would explain wanting the i3.
Edit: Or budget. Okay, $800 is out. How much do you have, then?

Well, the real budget would be more useful to us! We don't know what will or will not shock your Dad.

$50 is a shock? Alright, then. We can fix this. One question: Do you have a specific reason that you want the i3?

You are, perhaps, thinking of the differences between the i5-3570k and the i7-3770k. The gulf between the i3-3220 and the i3-3470 is somewhat vast.
