Ok. I have just spent on a new GPU, crossing my fingers the i3 is sufficient.(really dun want to spend so much on gaming or new cpu/mobo)..guess what...my trusty i3 is enough. No need spend on new mobo+i5 which will probably cost me a PS4 (together with the GPU).
Got MSI OC Tiger (???Stupid name) GTX 960.
Benchmark Test Before:
i3 2120 + GTX 460
1) Settings:
- 1080p
- Everything LOW except: FXAA Only, Texture Filtering (Medium), Tesselation On.
Avg FPS: 18.41
Max FPS: 68.87
Min FPS: 6.3
AFTER(i3 2120 + GTX 960)
2) Same settings as above:
Avg FPS: 110.25
Max FPS: 159.73
Min FPS: 68.25
3) With auto settings (game detect optimal setting for the card, with higher settings)
Avg FPS: 70.11
Max FPS: 105.76
Min FPS: 43.02

Spent RM816. Not too bad. My i3 still rocks. LOL.
As long can get >30fps, happy liao. Not like watching slideshow playing around 6 to 20 fps previously.
So anyone with same dillemma can just upgrade their GPU first.
BTW, the GTX 960 is a tad longer than my trusty GTX460....but only 1 6 pin power connector needed.
Lucky my casing big enuff, otherwise i will be pulling my hair again...
