I am going to build my first rig soon. I want to keep it at about $600. I have everything picked out except for the CPU. I know I want an i3, but I don't know which one. I think I'll go with the 3250, but is there any better options? Nothing over $140

If you wanna go i3, go Haswell: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116945

The i3-4330 runs at the same speeds, better onboard video, slightly lower power consumption, 1MB extra L3 cache. Same price, no brainer :) ...unless you already bought your mobo
