my present pc config. is :
core2duo E6500
asus p5q41 LX3
4gb(2X2) corsiar 1333 DDR3 RAM
Cooler Master 450 watt PSU
Ati 5670HD 1 GB

I would like to know which one will be better option for my upgrade..
i3 2100 + ati 6770HD 1 gb
or
i5 2500K + ati 5670HD 1 gb

i have the motherboard gigabyte GA-H67M-D2-B3..

i can also afford asus p8h67 m le .. so if asus is better than i can get this..

and for now i dont want to over clock.. soo m happy with H67 motherboard. M buying K series as if its required to overclock in future. i can overclock by changing motherboard only. :)

i just want to play new latest games like dragon age 2, modern warfare 3, GTA 4 , and upcoming games..

also i want to know should i invest more in graphics card or processor..
 
* If sticking with Intel, the i3 w/better GPU is the better choice.

* If AMD is an option, than a Phenom II x4 955 BE w/a AM3+ mobo (possible Bulldozer upgrade).

* If you go with a bit bigger GPU, you might consider getting a PSU upgrade too.
