I need help with upgrading my CPU and motherboard.
I am going from an AMD FX-6300 and a MSI 970A-G46 (MS-7693)
I am looking for an Intel CPU with a motherboard to match.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am only using this PC to game.
I am looking to spend a maximum of about £350 - £380

The rest of my computer specs are as follows:

Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 200 Series windforce
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Windows 7 Ultimate N 64-bit SP1
2TB Western Digital Caviar Black
Gigabyte GZ-G2 Plus computer case
950 Watt PSU silver standard (I think)
