So I mainly game, but I also render video, edit audio, edit clips and movies, stream, and record my gameplay.

Currently, I have an fx-6300 overclocked to 4.1 GHz. I also have a 7870 Must Tahiti chip which is a monster! Anyways, I really play a lot of games, so should I upgrade to a gtx 770, or an i5 processor? I know id need a new mobo as well. Also, would the power needed for the 770 be far off from my 7870? Will the i5 help in gaming and rendering? I do play a lot of Arma 3 where I know without a doubt it will help. But what'd the best option?? Also, shadow play for nvidia GPU will be such a help to me as it's awesome.

Personally I would go for the i5 4670k which would make a big difference compared to the amd cpu, but if your dead set on getting a GPU than I would say save up a little and buy a GTX 970 and there will defiantly be a difference in Arma! You could buy this http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/Pali... which isn't as good as the other 970 but all it means is it has a stock fan but still a great gpu
