Just to complete the picture here, my prices:
G2120 - CHF 134
i3-3220 - CHF 140
i3-3225 - CHF 162
Strange that there is such a little range between G2120 and 3220 here compared to UK and Canada.

I have it all together now and so far everything works well.
The only thing is that the fan speed of the CPU is quite loud from times to times. Especially when starting the fans go all nuts.
Do you guys know what bios settings would be appropriate to get a good low fan speed / sufficient cooling going?

On the mobo under HW Monitor set the CPU target to 50 Celsius and the fan speed to 3 or 4.
