If you changed your motherboard you would also have to change your cpu.

No.

lga1155 is now old tech.
Since you are looking at a cpu change regardless, look for a lga1150 motherboard.

Lots of those games are cpu intensive and single threaded. If so, look at a $70 G3258 and plan on a good overclock.
It is only dual core, but those two cores can be faster than anything else you can buy, regardless of price.
