You should probably buy the cheapest 3.3GHz Intel sandy or ivy bridge dual core you can find.

The 3.3GHz Ivy Bridge i3-3220 has good performance and doesn't cost as much as the 3.4GHz Ivy Bridge i3-3240.

You could also consider a dual core 3.1GHz Ivy Bridge Pentium 2120 or get some other cheap Pentium G8xx dual core

Any i3 would do fine, just try to get sandy bridge or ivy bridge. What graphics card are you going to be using? If you can't get a good one try getting a cheaper CPU.

Get a 3rd generation one. Better choice than 2nd Gen i3s

Go for an i3 3220, It costs you aroung 6200 INR

P.S, AMD FX 6100 is around 6600 INR, It would be a better choice than i3s, as i3s can't be Overclocked but FX series are easily overclockable. I am running a FX 4100 at 4GHz.
