already mentioned only memory and video card, personally I could never play a video game with an I5 anymore...

Choice#1

motherboard supports up to TDP of 88w, so since the I7-4790K is cheaper by 20$ to the 4790 it is what I would suggest getting, the get the best possible memory upgrade for your system at 16GB of ram which according to the specs : https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/B85MD_PLUS/specifications/ would be 2 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory , finally a video card to support most newer games at at least 80-150 FPS.
