Your i3-2120 CPU is from the Sandy Bridge family, socket 1155. It will be a bit hard to find a new processor, but you should be able to find used ones.

This is a list of compatible Sandy Bridge CPUs: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_i3/i3-2120.html

Your best options are the i7-2600 and i5-2500, because I'm going to assume that your motherboard won't let you overclock, which is the main reason to get a "K" processor. But if you can find one of them for cheap, go for it!
