As you can see my CPU sucks and games and streaming suffer from it, and my mobo don't know the specific model but it only has a FM2+ socket. So, I wanted to buy a new CPU preferably intel. The CPUs I was looking at were the "Intel Core i7-3820" or "Intel Core i7-4820k". I don't know much about the CPUs so I don't know which is better in terms of playing "Minecraft" or streaming, "league of legends", "Titanfall" when it releases, and StarCraft 2". I also need a new motherboard for these CPUs. Hopefully one with 2+ Slots of PCI, and in the price range of 150-200$.

Yes the 4670k will handle anything you can throw at it. If it makes you feel better you could spend $80 and get an i7-4770k.

Well the 3820 and 4820k are over $300 each so scratch them off of your list. You don't need a cpu that strong anyway. $200 is only going to get you an i3 + motherboard anyway. I recommend saving more $ to get an i5. You need to have $230-250 to get an i5 and mobo.

Lol, sorry I meant 150-200$ just for motherboard. The confusion was my bad with the sentence structure I can spend like 500 $ on the CPU and MOBO.

Really, but would the extra 150$ mean more power if I ever think of using 2 cards or would the 4670k power that too?
