Current System:

i5 2400

GTX 780

8GB Ram

 

I would like to upgrade my i5 2400 since it has been bottlenecking my GPU.

 

-I would like to purchase from the used market, mainly Ebay.

-My budget is £120

-I would like to stay on the same socket if possible

-My current lga 1155 motherboard is not a z77 board so i cant overclock

 

Ive been interested in the i5 3570 since it fits my budget and is the best non k i5 on this socket

How does this new CPU run Newer games?

If you have any suggestions that fit the budget and are better feel free to answer.

For game that  are not so CPU intensive you would probably get better value for money upgrade with new GPU.   GTX-1060 or GTX-1050TI ... so recommendation probably depend on what games you prefer.
