Because you want faster shutter speed? Either lens or camera.
If the photos are too noisy and you want lower iso (for the k10d), then likely the k3...
But I should add I don't use AF, and that aspect is not something you mention, but may be an issue for K3 vs K10d--and w/ a faster lens the focus is more critical. If you manual focus--neither camera likely works well w/o a new screen.
One other point--getting a new camera may be problems w/ your workflow, and a new computer is costly.
These are all good points... My desire for the faster lens was to isolate the player and to increase contrast for less post processing. I haven't had a need to sharpen my images, most of he games are in bright daylight and so shutter speed hasn't been an issue. With respect to ISO, I rarely like to push it above 200 or 300 on the K10D because of the noise.
I depend on the AF, so that is one reason the K3 is very attractive to me.
Lastly, my PC isn't the greatest but I don't do a lot of post processing beyond cropping, white balance, and tweaking the contrast. I shoot only JPG.
