Hey guys im looking for the best LGA 2011 CPU for the money. I don't have a budget right now, but im defiantly not going for an extreme processor. I would also like to stay away from a 500+ dollar processor if i can. I will most likely upgrade it later, but i still want it to be worth the money. Im looking to do high end gaming, graphic design, and i do a lot of streaming. Also would like to be able to handle high end games with little to no lag.

Here is what i was looking at.
Intel Core i7-4820K Ivy Bridge-E 3.7GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) LGA 2011 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Yeah, I have that processor and it's been great. Easily overclocked to 4.3Ghz. If you have an older 2011 board, make sure you look into flashing it so that it can take the newer 2011 processors. Considering the price difference, and your intended usage, the 4820k should be great and the best cost efficiency for you.

What cpu did you have previously? Do some price checking and see if you can't find a Xeon e5-1620v2 for a little cheaper. Ok I just looked for you and it is $15 cheaper. http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?p=E5-1620V2&c=fr&pid=03f91ae82b1b81194c002364b7ca008405299d50eae053d7e1b035f84f889ac6&gclid=CJ-Z7bjzwL0CFSsQ7AodMyIA9Q
They are the same exact processor except the the Xeon has more features, runs a little cooler, but doesn't overclock. You probably want to overclock. I just thought I would throw it out there.
