i think i will buy an i3 2120 and do some minimal overclocking(maybe @3.4 or 3.5) as i cant do much on a locked chip

I don't quite understand what your goal is.

basicly i want best bang for my buck, if i get a 2120 i will save more or less £25 over a 3240 @ 3.4 when i could achieve that by raising the FSB like lots of people have done, and about the i5's i thought that the K series would start at around £130 - 140 but no they start at £170 so right now its a no go for me.

Step up to this....... Newegg.com - Intel Core i3-3225 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 55W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I33225. You won't notice a hundred or so MHz, not enough to bother OC'ing anyway. That is a really good CPU, Dual Core, with HT, and the Intel HD 4000 graphics. That will be so much more than you need anyway.

Here you can find a comparison chart for different i3 & i5 products and their main features:
CPU WORLD
I would ask myself first if i should take a processor in case i would like to upgrade later my motherboard. Or if the motherboard i plan to buy will suit my needs and is compatible with the processor i want to buy.
Both are tight to each others.

i am buying quite a widely upgradable motherbaord - Gigabyte GA-B75-D3V Socket 1155 VGA DVI 8 Channel.. | Ebuyer.com
and i am thinking of the 2120 as i am using a gtx 550 ti, also i have a good upgrade path because of socket 1155

Let me explain myself a little.
As for exemple i took an Intel chipset H77 for motherboard w/the i5 K series, as this motherboard doesn't suits really overclocking with that i5k...but i still could do some "official overclocking" through Bios but no extreme with it!
My motherboard is half less the price of my processor but is nearly fully what i needed about and i could upgrade in a few years with a better Mobo.
Your motherboard Intel B75 chipset chosen looks to be able to accept extreme overclocking and is affordable too and will make you being able to use a faster processor, aka i5K or i7K series.
Why not think about an i5 series now instead of an i3? Then you'll have to buy only once a processor which is more expensive than a Mobo.Last edited by NoN; 30 Sep 2012 at 20:02.

ok as budget is tight right now, and this is my first build i decided to go with the 2120 and i cant go spending another £80 for another one, but at least then i have a good motherboard to fit an i5 or i7 later.
i was basing this build around the gta 5 recommended specs but when i noticed they were quite low an i3 sprung to mind because of the upgrade path to i5 and i7s
if by the time i have more available budget, i will get the 2500k in a heartbeat, no questions asked.
hope this answers ur question
