Ok, so I have an Intel Pentium G645 Dual Core(Sandy Bridge 2.9ghz) paired with a Radeon HD 7750 (Because I have a small PSU)

and I'm thinking of upgrading to something with some more processing power. The only two cards that are in my price range that are compatible with my mobo are the i3-3220(3.3ghz) and i3-3240(3.4ghz) both Ivy Bridge. Both are dual core with quad core hyper threading.

My question is would it be worth upgrading to an i3 processor from the pentium? Since the 3240 has .1 more ghz than the 3220 so would it be worth the extra $5? (it's cheaper on amazon) Even though the 3220 seems to be much more favorable from the reviews. I'm hoping to get at least a 60-100% boost from upgrading which seems like what these cpu's will get me. Thanks for any advice
