Well, this is my settings now:

AMD Phenom X4 955 BE 3.20
880G
Gibabyte HD 6870
Cooler Master GX 650
Termaltake V3 BE

And im not able to do so, well, im upgrading to this:

I5 2500k
z77x-ud3h
Gibabyte HD 6870
Cooler Master GX 650
Termaltake V3 BE

That last config will max out IV with ENB and a good frame rate?

GPU might hold you back a little. Depends on the screen resolution.

Your budget is 15k, but which currency?

[Biru]

15k means 15000rs inr

Which is around $275, right? I think you could get a 7870 with that budget.

You could get an i5 3570k instead, but I think it costs something around $240.

[yojo2]

i5-3550 isn't a good value, i5-3470 should cost noticeably less and it will perform similarly. Alternatively, you might consider Xeon E3-1230V2, which is basically a server edition of i7.
Please check before buying any of these CPUs if your motherboard has the required BIOS version to support them.

but i have many peoles saying that that is good cpu and co overclocked to 4ghz and it is also a excellent cpu for gaming buy i have buyed a hd 7750 and stasfied with the performence what is ypur opinion about my choice

I'm not sure about that CPU being overclocked to 4 GHz, I think they meant the 3570k. Also as yojo said, you'll need a new motherboard as well.

[yojo2]

i5-3550 can be overclocked too, 4GHz seems reasonable enough.

[Azazel]

The i5-2500 is socket 1155, and the i5-3XXX series is 2011, right?

[yojo2]

32XX/33XX/34XX/35XX are for LGA1155 socket, 38XX/39XX are for LGA2011 socket. Furthermore, there are no i3/i5s for LGA2011, only i7.

[Biru]

i am not going to overclock my cpu. so the i think i5 3550 will work for me. if it does then how long it will perform in future games. if it will perform for 2 years then it is enough for me because i generally upgrade my cpu every 1 year
