What kind of budget are you looking to spend total for board/CPU swap? The 3570 is getting long on the tooth these days, as it's Ivy Bridge 22nm from around 2012.

about $150 usd

Any OC on your current CPU? Asny plans for potential 3570k for this? If so, you can probably pick up a few FPS. Honestly though, without using a CPU similar to what you have, I can't so what the gain would be. Probably depends on games played.

errr, im playing some game with single core main...
so i think FX 8300 not really helping since its weak on single core performance
im playing Dragon nest btw

Makes sense. If all the games you play utilize faster IPC over cores, and price is right, you could gain some performance. An OS reinstall would likely be required as it's a total platform change. Activating Windows may be an issue, but not sure of MS current policy here. I've bought retail OS copies last few generations of Windows.

well... how about LGA1155 ECS H61H2-MV, can i instal windows 10 with GTX 1050 ti in that Mainboard?
im not doing any OC's

sorry about the delay. You should be able to install Windows 10 on there along with 1050 Ti based on info. I'm not 100% on the UEFI supporting your listed CPU, as it was designed for 2nd Gen CPUs with support added later for 3rd Gen CPUs.
