You need a better video card before you buy a better cpu. I think an AMD 4770 for around $110 would do wonders here.

------------------------------------

He only ask for a CPU, independent of this, for a better GPU too, is necesary another PSU.

Are you sure the CPU is your performance issue? Quick test is to put the graphics settings down to the lowest possible quality and resolution - if you have performance issues then you are CPU limited. If you only get performance issues when you up the graphics settings to a higher resolution etc then you are GPU (graphics) limited.

No. I disagree. A 4770 should work with the Dell original power supply. Yes, this adds stress to the system, but should work just fine.
