You don't really need a new CPU, instead you should get better GPU, like 560Ti or 6950.

Hmm... dunno... You will have a very unbalanced system if you do that. Also, you're most likely using DDR2, you won't be able to use it on a 1155 motherboard, you will need DDR3.

I don't see why not. I've got a Radeon 4850, and it still runs games at high setting pretty good. Of course, my resolution is only 720p, but me thinks you'll be good to go for a while longer with that setup.

What kind of games are you wanting to play? That GPU won't do a 2500 much justice. Do you have a budget for an upgrade?
