really i dont want to change my motherboard..i just want to upgrade my cpu to the highest possible one which my motherboard supports..it is a g620 pentium processor now..i checked and i came to know that g870 is the highest model of the cpu that lga 1155 supports..and also i have only 2 gb ram..thinking to get another 2 gb and make it to 4 gb..but anyways it is worthy to upgrade my cpu to g870..i just saw an increase in cpu frequency that is from 2.6(g620) to 3.1ghz(g870)???i use it mainly for some games like nfs gta v and some more..???i have no gpu nothing...

Without a discrete GPU, you probably won't be able to run these games at all. Gaming is an expensive hobby.

LGA 1155 has many more CPUs than that. You have the Core i3 31xx and 32xx, the Core i5 3470 and 3570, and the Core i7 3770. The best value is probably the Core i5 3570, but a Core i7 would also be a good choice for your games. However, even a Core i7 would not play these games well without a discrete GPU. You'll also want some more RAM - most games don't run well on less than 8GB these days.

[strike]Wait, pump the breaks. You play GTA V on a computer that has no dedicated graphics, and a dual-core CPU?

Exactly how many hamsters do you have running in your case?[/strike]

Oh, you meant that you /would/ use it for those games, disregard

Jokes aside, I don't think you'll see much improvement with the g870. You get something like 500 more points on passmarks, which isn't really worth the 200 or so dollars.

your best bet is to get a better power supply and gpu but even that wont help you much its quite expensive and 2gb of ram is quite low

you would need to up ram to at least 4gb to 6gb

the video card a 750 ti or 460 when its out for any playability in games

and a 400w evga or good brand psu what is your budget

You should buy a better cpu ivy bridge as Ex , make it 8gb ram and and Get a Gpu for about 100$
For my PC i have Gt 730 2Gb ddr5 it's best Gpu you can Get for less than 100$
