As I wrote it above, if you are absolutely sure that you won't play games and also if you are short on money, the i3-3220 would also do just fine for browsing the internet and watching movies, but I think the extra $20 is worth it for i3-3225 to make the build a little more future proof. The HD4000 in the 3225 is a lot faster then the HD2500 in the 3220, you know, some extra performance never hurts

Your choice

edit: it must be noted that 7200RPM drives are far from silent. I don't know how much do you know about computers, but this won't be dead silent in the bedroom for sure
