Thoughts on the i3

Looking into a new build. Going to be a Mini ITX, with 8 gigs. I plan on doing some OCing, and gaming on it.

I want it to be as small, and fast as possible, and keeping the price under or around 700.

Is the i3 even worth it? i've heard that its a cheap throw away chip.

Anyone with some experience here got some info on it?

i3's don't OC anymore, sadly.

Hmmm...SOunds like a throw away chip to me =)

They're remarkably capable really, but being 1155 there isn't much OCing room on a locked chip.
