[less_than_perfect]

Hi, i'm new around here i don't know much about computers and i would ask which is better for gaming Intel Pentium G645 or core i3-3220 and i know that they are not desing for gaming but i'm very cheap.

I don't know much about processors, but based on the specifications of these two I would say the Intel® Core™ i3-3220 Processor is better.

Here is why:

- 2 more Threads
- 0.4 more GHz Clock Speed
- 8.6 GB/s more Max Memory Bandwidth
- supports hyper threading technology

The only disadvantage is that the graphics specifications are weaker:

- 200 MHz less Graphics Base Frequency
- 0.06 GHz less Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency

I have to agree that your best choice is the i3.
