hello gurus, im planning to buy haswell processors this month mainly for gaming, i play games like coh2, nba 2k15(this is why im upgrading), cs go,dota2..im very confused on what to get the, i3 4150 or the i5 4460 (coz its 4 cores and have no idea whats the advantage on my games than a 2 core). if u dont mind pls dont advice other proce.

my gpu is asus 7850 2gb dcu

next im pairing it with an asus h81 M-( if its E or K etc its i dont care as long as its compatible with my proce without updating the bios or chipset) ..thank you so much.

You would need at least an H81 motherboard for a Haswell processor. An H61 motherboard would not even be able to receive the CPU because it's a different socket.

Neither of those cpus are compatible with the h61-m motherboards. You need an intel cpu with code starting with a 3, not a 4 like the i5-3470
