So I have a really crap PC right now:
Intel G3220 1150 Dual-Core CPU (IK dont judge)
AsRockH-81 Mobo
8 GB of DDR3 Ram
R7 370 2GB OC
160 GB 7200 RPM boot drive with a 1TB WD Blue Drive
What I'm really after is an upgrade for my CPU and potentially maybe have to get a motherboard along with it. The easy route would be to get a 1150 i5 and call it a day, but I've been seeing lately a lot of used Xeons out there being used for some pretty killer budget PCs. I've seen the x5650 and the E5-2670. These though have pricey motherboards. I want to stick to intel, but AMD is coming out with Ryzen soon. Are there any good budget AMD CPUs out there? Or should I look into getting one of those Xeon processors? Keeping in mind that I want something that would be able to play BF1 or BOPS 3 1080p Maxed out at 60.
Right now My current build runs BOPS 3 at Medium 1080p at 60, but I really want to max stuff out and that is just not capable on my build. Thanks For your Time

Looking at the supported chips does that motherboard support about all 1150 cpu's,so xeon's,i7's,i5's and the rest.

might want to see what is available within your budget.For a xeon look at one with hyper threading like the "Xeon E3-1241 v3", or the "Xeon E3-1240 v3", or the "Xeon E3-1231 v3". An i5 is still a major upgrade as well.
