planning on upgrading as my current computer isn't spectacular

current PC:

AMD Athlon X4 760K
MSI A55M-E35 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
2x4Gb Kingston 1333 or 1600mhz ram
500gb HDD
MSI R9 270X Gaming 2Gb
EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze PSU
Fractal Core 1000 Case

wanting to upgrade to Intel preferably as I feel it may improve performance more than AMD and offer a better upgrade path.

looking to spend around £260-70 on a CPU, Motherboard and a SSD to store my OS on.

Planning on using this PC to mainly game but also record/ render

You could get i5 4440 or 4690. If you want to overclock you have to get K series.
But 4440 should do fine. I got this recently for my 1st build. :D
