I am thinking of changing my p.c for Games.
Can any one tell me that which processor is best?
And second thing is I Have MSI-H81-P35 Motherboard with Celeron .. and my friend told me that MSI H81 P35 motherboard can b upgrade to core i3 ,i5 or i7 . .
What do uou think can I replace it with i5 or i7?

Your motherboard only supports haswell (4th gen) you can NOT use an older i5.
If you find an haswell i3-i5-i7 they will all work.

Here is the manufacturer's list of supported CPUs -- https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/H81-P35#support-cpu An i7-4770 or an i5-4670 are the top locked CPUs. Since you have an "H" motherboard you could get a 4700K CPU but wouldn't have the overclocking tools.
