Solution
Hardcore gaming or casual? Buying 2120 you'll end up being 2 years behind the current technology. But that should not be a concern if you are a casual gamer.

Solution
It is very hard to answer.
Choosing a processor is depending on your budget, your need and also the planned usage period (how long are you planning to use the processor before going for upgrade)
I believe you know this already.

I would advice to invest more and go for i5 3220, since it is newer and stronger, but only if you can afford it and/or if you do really need it...well...otherwise, investing extra to i5 3220 will be waste of your hard-earned money...

Certainly there'll be a performance decrease in comparison to i5. i3 is an entry segment processor. It can handle low end games. But would die on high end. So entirely depends on what games you are going to play and what budget you have.
