For gaming, you don't need an i7, but if you want it, the best one would be the i7-4790k. For gaming purposes, you won't EVER use 32GB of RAM, there's absolutely no reason for it, it's complete overkill. I suggest keeping the money from the extra 16GB and just using 16GB.
like I said, I plan on streaming too.
You still won't need that much RAM for streaming, if you really want some extra RAM, go for 24, but that's about as much as I'll recommend. 24 is still going overkill, for streaming, too, for streaming, a good CPU is what you want. Which is why I suggested the 4790k, it's good for both gaming and streaming.
Thanks for your help. I will consider the RAM thing.
What is the difference between the 4790k and the 6700k and the 5000's? I want the best thing seeing as I am already spending quite a bit.
The 4790k has a bit of an edge over the 6700k is gaming, not much though. You're interested in the 5k series? They're pretty expensive but will allow you to stream and play games better. The price difference from the 5960X, for example, is about $700, and it has 8-cores. it's mostly used for editing/rendering.
I should also mention that the 4790k uses DDR3 RAM, while the 6700k uses DDR4 RAM, if you want the newer one, get the 6700k.
