Where I'm looking, the i3-4150 is ~£20 cheaper than the i3-4330, and my friend doesn't have a lot to spend on a mobo. It's either this or an Athlon II 760K and some £56 Gigabyte mobo.

Cheers guys :)

It will work but you will need to update the BIOS and Firmware ~ wait till they release the updates if they already haven't done so.

Yes, it will work, but you might need a BIOS update: http://ark.intel.com/products/77486/Intel-Core-i3-4150-Processor-3M-Cache-3_50-GHz#@compatibility

Well, thanks guys. I don't really want to risk flashing the BIOS, and I don't know if you can actually do that without a CPU on the board I'm looking at (it's the MSI B85M-P33 btw). I'll probably stick with the AMD CPU.
