Do not get the k it is just spending extra money for nothing because your motherboard does not support overclocking. You have the H61 chipset on your motherboard. It will work just fine without overclocking, it's your best bet for certain.

"It can't take heavy games" is totally not true. The i5 can definitely take all the heaviest games, and of course it matters on which one you buy. The first questions I need answered is what your current CPU is, so I can figure out what socket your motherboard has?
