i am a hardcore gamer based on that fact what is the best cpu for me

Get the i5, the i7 will be a waste for your needs.

do you plan to overclock if so i5-3570k is best for you

i am not an overclocker

but do u think my GPU is good for running 1080p games cuz i got only with the above system 38 to 46 in BF3 Multiplayer 1080p gaming so i am confused what to change the GPU or CPU however when i switched the resolution from 1080p to 720p i found it very shiny in 100 fps and 80fps

i would upgrade my cpu first for sure if i was you i would get this cpu if no overclocking http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116506

You GPU might be alright, and you,ve already got it?

You could get the parts and see how well it performs.

hmm , ok u think guys i dont need anything related to GPU upgrade, its all a matter of CPU right?

 

[jay_nar2012]

It should be fine but about your PSU, 850W is overkill.
You could get this instead.

is this I5 3570 better than I5 2500k?

 

[jay_nar2012]

by a little yes 5-10% performance increase, probably the same with heat increase but the 2500K is a overclocker's chip.
