I would go with the i5-3570 - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=i5-3570&_sacat=0&_sop=15&LH_BIN=1

It is in a higher tier than the i5-2500K on Tom's Hardware Gaming CPU Hierarchy - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html

According to ASUS your motherboard will require bios version 0401, which you may already have. But check to be sure. - https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P8H61M_LX3_PLUS_R20/HelpDesk_CPU/

*You should probably look at getting another 4GB of DDR3 RAM that is the same spec as the 4GB you have.
