You can't just change the CPU- you have an Intel board and the chip you just named is an AMD.

If you want to play modern games at high settings you are going to have to invest in a new CPU, mobo, GPU and RAM. Possibly a new PSU. You might be able to use your existing HD, case and optical drive. Now that can be AMD or intel (although there's no point buying AMD right now) but there isn't much you have that you can reuse.

ok I have good news and bad new the bad news is that your pc is sadly out of date and needs to be replaced the good news is you have enough of a budget to get a fairly nice system that will crush what you have now here is what i suggest

Intel Core i5-3450 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
MSI Z77MA-G45 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Patriot Signature 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Seagate Barracuda ES 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
XFX Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card
Corsair 500W ATX12V Power Supply

pc part picker list
comes to $709 and is $659 after mail in rebates I didn't include an os or a case I figured you could use your current case if you need a copy of windows add another $100 to this price for windows 7 home premium no reason for ultimate or professional on a gaming pc I left you some money in your budget and I suggest you use it to buy an ssd

Edit that ram has some bad reviews go with some thing like this its only $5 more and has a 5 egg rating and nearly a 1000 reviews

amd is simpy not the way to go for gaming at the moment I would rather have a sandy bridge pentium then a fx 4100 yes he could go cheaper quite a bit cheaper I used the budget he said he had $800 as my goal I think what I suggested is a good compromise between price and performance

my E6700 and gtx 275 is just about holding on
it can play skyrim on high with mods, tera on max and battle feild 3 i think it is on medium (oh and crysis on maximum :D)

but it needs either a massive upgrade or i need a new computer
so i'm going to build a new computer - might set me back £1k or so but it should last for years
