@sumalatha
I see everywhere that you are suggesting an igp instead of a discrete Graphic Card where OP's requirement is pure gaming. Can you pls tell us why?

I think OP should go with i3 3220 @ 6.6K and save some money. There is no noticeable performance difference between i3 3225 and i3 3220 in CPU performance. Only i3 3225 comes with HD 4000 graphics. Since OP is getting a new GPU there is no need for a better IGP.

If the Difference is that much, then OK.

Buddy, I didn't provide any config and suggested a small change over Sainatarajan's suggestion. So + 1 for Sainatarajan's config.
