Hello, lastly i swap my old gpu, and now its time for mobo + cpu.
I have 500$ (~1600pln) for upgrade, if it can be cheaper, it would be great.
I use pc for streaming league of legends (here i5 would do good) and sometimes dayz (arma2 mod)
My pc is:
Phenom II x4 965 BE @3,7GHz + thermalright macho hr02 black white
Gigabyte ga970a-ud3
8gb 1600mhz cl9 corsair vengeance
EVGA gtx760 sc
xfx core 550w
zalman z9 plus
What i was thinking about?
i5 3570k + msi z77a-gd55 or i7 3770k + msi z77a-g45
But i don't know is it worth to get i7.

Not much worth get i7 but why not? It do other stuff much better way than 4670k and it do OC better? You have really good cpu cooler :)

If you can find Intel xeon 1230V3 then you have best performance it takes less wattage than 4670k or 4770k. But you can NOT OC. Still it is cooler. You can do so silent build with that cooler you do not need any fans..

This is lga 1155 xeon but new 1230V3 is out. You can use old if you find that cheap price.
Then you just need 1155 MoBo.
New 1150 xeon 1230V3 cad work really well with this MoBo.

But sure you can use 4670k or 4770k with this if you want.
Look test of this MoBo.
