PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING!
I've been playing my games for a while now with this setup (I5- 2400, 16GB DDR3, GTX 1070, ext) and it's been playing very well.
I am now getting into video creation and benchmark (Bench-marking videos for the GTX 1070)
Now I've been noticing that some games get lower frame-rates then others (Doom being a more GPU bound title game me close too the same frame-rates as another, newer i5. But games like TF2 gave the same frame-rates like a 970.). 16GB of ram and the GTX 1070 shouldn't be the problem, its the CPU.
Now the i5-2400 still plays like a boss. But for video creation it's been slowing down my other components. Now even in gaming the CPU is lowering frame-rates. So now is the time to upgrade.
I've got $200 on hand. And been looking at the Skylake/Haswell processors. They seem much faster. But even an Ivy Bridge i7 can be found cheap.
So here's the question. I'm looking for another CPU for this beast of a card. I'm looking at i5 Skylake/Haswell processors or i7 Ivy Bridge processors. An Xeon wouldn't be bad too, just make sure its the Ivy Bridge line of processors or higher.
P.S. Please don't recommend a Zen processor. AMD isn't good for some programs on my system. Not only that, but I've been getting bad luck from all AMD products
