depends how long he's keeping it for though, more and more games are quad core now and it doesn't hurt to have it

Well, its slowly going towards AMD's side, but I think its too slow, and at any rate even if all the games have similar characteristics as BFBC2, its still allright to get the i3.

Techreport says its effectively the same: http://techreport.com/articles.x/20188/7

maybe BC2, but really as much longevity as possible

Think twice about the Coolermaster GX (if you still haven't changed your mind), I don't know about the newer releases but the old GX series get very bad ratings and they typically go down way faster than other brands like Corsair.
