definitely go for the i3 2120 or the i3 2100 hyperthreading helps alot in a dual core processor but in a quad core not as much plus your graphics card would be bottlenecked by a i3 540 without a decent overclock

Crysis performance depends a lot more on GPU, but new games also needs CPU power so better to get i3 2120. On the other hand only if your budget is tight, G620 is also very good at gaming.

They comes with different sockets. Make sure you are getting something compatibel with your mobo.
If mobo is socket 1155, you cannot use i3 540 in it and if its 1156, you cannot use G620 therein.

What's your budget? On what resolution you game at? Telling your motherboard model will help us to decide what is good for you. And no, Hyper-Threading does NOT helps in gaming that much. That said, i5 don't feature HT, i7 do. In gaming PC, only high speed memory RAMs (1866 MHz+) benefit from HT technology. 32nm based i3-661 is not better pick in the likes of Sandy Bridge i3 second generation processors.

I agree with Cerberus. Get the second generation mobo and processor, as honestly in your budged you can only get G620. G620 is a little weaker than i3 but a almost as powerful as expensive highend core2duo. In games, G620 is only 15% less than i3 2120 but half the price.
