I have an MSI N450GTS and Intel i3 540..
I have plant to upgrade my GPU to HD 7850 or equal..
but someone said that it will be bottle neck..

could anybody give recommendation which one should I upgrade first that would increase my PC performance in gaming.??
a GPU or an I3 3220 with MOBO.??
 
Even if it bottlenecks, you'll get better performance with the i3 and 7850, than an i5 and 450gts. So at that point, go with what will give you the most performance, the Gpu upgrade.

Right now you can get a 7850 for about 130, while a 7870ghz edition will cost you 166. I'd seriously think about the 7870ghz card.
