Buy i5-2400 for gaming.

FX-81x0 are for running virtual machines.

While gaming at 1080p, you won't notice any difference between FX 8120, FX 8150 and i5 2400 because GPU is more important at high resolutions. If you'll be overclocking the cpu, then FX 8150, else i5 2400.

^I agree. Overclocking would prove much more cost effective in this case. The i3 that you have is a very good processor. Why waste money when you already have something good.
