when gaming i have to arch forward to look things carefully because of small screen
also my eyes feel uneasy by focusing and playing on small screen

should i buy new full hd led monitor 21.5 inch led
or i5 for better gaming experience and frame rates ?

What do you prefer? Same current performance with bigger screen or slightly better performance with small screen? It's your own preference.
BTW, you won't be able to upgrade to i5 just by swapping CPUs.. You'll have to upgrade almost the whole system..

The E5700 is a LGA 775 CPU. The earliest i5 is LGA 1156 and the latest is LGA 1150. You're going to need a new motherboard and ram with that i5, which is going to set you back at least $250, but most likely more.
