I have purchased the above components for a new budget gaming system, but still need to purchase a CPU. I am a $100 over budget and would like to save some money:
1) Is an i3 3220 3GHZ good or should I pay $100 more for an i5 3470 3.1GHZ.
2) I would really like to save money and scared I would also need to fan to the CPU if I chose the i5 3470?
