I have ABOUT £200 to spend on a GAMING CPU (i know there is no such things as proprietary cpus, but thats what i will be mostly using it for) aswell as MAYBE streaming at points, but i would not make this a huge factor as i dont think its needed.
I currently have a AMD 8320, and i need a new motherboard as i cant even touch overclocks as it instantly throttles the cpu as the VRM temps just fly over the max, anyways, i was looking at getting either a higher end AMD cpu, and new motherboard, OR going the intel route, but im not sure whether the 4690k or the 4790k would be be best, or any other ideas?
Im completely open for suggestions, i am also wanting a motherboard, so any ideas would be massively appreciated on that front, also i have a H100 but i was looking at the new Raijintek Triton, as you can get it to go red which would go nicely with my pc, but i would quite like to stay with my trusty H100 if thats just wasting £70 by switching... Try keep costs nice and low as i dont have unlimited amounts of money ;) but i will have about £300-350 to spend!

Thanks in advance!

Will it be worth spending the extra ££?

i was trying not to pull myself to get an i7 as ive convinced myself its unneeded and there is no point spending £250 on one... so thanks for that! ;)
