hey guys here are my system specs before i get to my question
Cpu- Intel I5-2320 @3.0GHZ
Mobo - msi z77a-g43
Gpu - GTX 760 4g super-clocked
16 gigs of ram at 1333
1 TB hard drive @7200
128 gig SSD
650 watt power supply
cool master H100I water cooler

i have a budget of 360$ what CPU should i aim for leaning toward I7-3770k i plan on over clocking as i made the investment into the water cooler and now my CPU is the oldest thing in my rig any suggestions are greatly appreciated (links to newegg/ amazon appreciated for reference) plan on playing dem games and streaming so the hyper threading wasn't over looked/ unnecessary as at this moment i have huge fps drops when i start to live stream that are not internet related IE: i go from 250-300 fps in league to 40-60 which i think is unacceptable as both my live stream program and league are on my SSD so my cpu is the only limiting factor

i7-3770k sounds fine if you're planning to stream while playing your games.

3570K is also nice for around 100 cheaper than the 3700k...they offer similar performance in gaming...
But if you want an I7 go for it...doesn't hurt to have the extra power for other tasks.
