Are there any low priced power efficient quad cores matching Jaguar? I need to know as I'm considering upgrading. Are Core i3s good or Haswell based Celerons or Pentiums?

Can't say about the budget. Presently it's an i3 with no graphics card with 6GB DDR3. Don't know the speed.

Would you say it is possible to build a faster system with CPU from Haswell Pentium or Celeron dual cores than 8 Jaguar cores?

Why dont you install a discrete graphics card ?? Jaquar Gaming performance is not that higher than Core i3 even with Intel HD2000.

Can't get a card which requires additional power supply as it will consume more power and my PSU doesn't have those special connectors.

I was thinking Pentium J2900 with a graphics card. Do you think this will be good for gaming. If so for how long? Money and power consumption is very important.

You would be able to upgrade to an i5 or i7 on the same motherboard which your i3 is in.

Will an i5 which will be compatible with my motherboard's socket be sold after few years? I tried looking for Phenom X4 but they are not sold here.
