Hi everyone. So i'm planning to upgrade my H61+I3 2120 system, and i'm wondering if i should upgrade to B250+G4560 system, or should i keep the H61 and upgrade from I3 2120 to I5 2400 or 3570(non K) ? I use my system mostly for gaming

The G4560 is a very basic entry level cpu, its just a pathway into the socket, and will need upgrading to a better cpu quite quickly to keep up with games, also you would need new ram too as it uses DDR4, as well as a new board.

Personally I would just upgrade your current system to the 3570 which still outperforms the G4560, see the link, and maybe use any extra cash you would save to upgrade another part, maybe graphics card or ram. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3570/3892vsm793
