Hey, I'm looking to upgrade my cpu soon and I was looking for possible recommendations. My setup has the following.

Radeon 7850

MSI H61M-E33 Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard **B3 REVISION**

Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9AD3B1K2/4G) [KHX1600C9AD3B1K2/4G]

I'm looking for around £100 - £150 and obviously want to get the best value for money. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is my current CPU, I don't really know much about processors so I'm just looking for an easy and good upgrade. At the moment I still have issues running skype and a game together for example and I can only assume the processor is what needs upgrading.
 
Well any game suffers performance issues (stutters etc) despite running fine when skype is open. I don't get very good results with newer titles like farcry 3. I tried WoW since I upgraded the card. And everything in low ran at about 70 - 80 fps, and full settings was about 30. I feel like I should be able to get more out of the system overall but don't know what is holding it back the most. I assumed the cpu etc.
 
So if I want to be able to get a noticeable upgrade I'm going to have to invest in a new board I guess? Can you suggest a decent board around £100?
