I currently am thinking of this CPU with my build:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54670k

This CPU is good and can play most modern games on high settings. However some games now are starting to require 8-core processors and not quad-core ones. Also I don't want to have to upgrade this CPU in a long time so I want a more powerful one.

The one I mentioned is £155 and I am willing to spend up to just over £200 for a good 8-core CPU.
Which CPU would you recommend for my needs?

I would go with this. i7 4770 performance for less.

You could get the new z97 chips, such as the i5 4690k or the i7 4790k.
