I use my Athlon II X4 620 2.6 GHz for Plex media streaming to my family and friends and it bogs down with more than one concurrent user and shows 100% CPU usage on all four processors. I am looking to upgrade to a faster CPU. What would you recommend to provide the best bump in media streaming? I'm thinking a Haswell I7-4770K based system but would appreciate any other ideas.

The FX 6300 & the FX 8320/8350 would do quite well, as they have 6 to 8 cores for plex to expand onto.
I have the FX 6300, and it does well with multi-threaded programs.
