Hey,
The title says it all.
I got an Asrock X79 Extreme 4 motherboard. but my i7 3820 seemingly isn't enough for 60fps@720p stream while playing games. It's kinda feels like a bottleneck for my SLI GTX970s.

Can I find a better CPU for a reasonable price in this socket?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
 
Solution
There isn't a good reason to upgrade and spend extra money on the new motherboard as the CPUs which are for that socket are still very powerful

Thanks for the quick reply!
Might be a better idea to change my motherboard for a more commonly used socket one? What is the best socket that seems to be the choice for the future?
Sorry for the tons of questions :)
