> No sense in getting a processor for that board.

> Get i3 4130 and Gigabyte GA-H81M-S1 which will cost 11.5k total.

Get these as they are VFM by increasing your budget.

Intel Core i3 4130 -7500,
Gigabyte H81M-S1 -3500,
Antec VP450P -2600,
Sapphire R7 250 1GB -6700.
TOTAL -20,300.

Sorry for the delayed response guys i was out for a week.
Now I'm not considering a major upgrade to my system.
So I'm only considering a processor upgrade (quad core maybe) only for buying a better GPU so that there aren't any bottle necks.
So thanks for the suggestion though.
