First-off, the i5-3570 is a fantastic CPU. What do you want to accomplish that you cannot with your current CPU?

Well I was playing bo2 and I was getting pretty high cpu usage. Is that normal with this gpu? Is it that my graphics card is not as good?

I have to agree with r00t on this one - Why would you even want to get a better CPU? You could go the extra mile and get an i7 processor, but that would be wasting money considering your current one can do the job.

Define "pretty high." Black Ops is both CPU and GPU dependent, but it's still not very demanding at all. What is your other hardware? I can guarantee you that your CPU is not holding you back even a little.

EDIT: The only reasonable CPU upgrade you could make is an overclock. The 1155 i7s only add Hyperthreading to the same silicon and that won't significantly improve performance.

I was getting around 50 to 75 percent. Since you said it was a good processer should I look into a new graphic card? I also will need to upgrade my power supply.
