As said above their are several different generations of Core i3.

Core i3 5xx is only supported on the LGA 1156 socket.
Core i3 2xxx and 3xxx is supported on the LGA 1155 socket
Core i3 4xxx is supported on the LGA 1150 socket.

On LGA 1155 you have to check the CPU support lists, as some boards may need a BIOS update to support the Core i3 3xxx processors.
