I'm current using a lga 1150 motherboard. But i am looking to purchase an I7 processor.
I'm not sure if it's worth it. I use alot of vmwares uses alot of my cpu. I am looking to swap over but i don't know which motherboard i should use.

I'm not sure which one i should buy: I am looking for the one that can handle the most.
Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W
Intel Core i7-6700 8M Skylake Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1151 65W
Intel Core i7-7700 Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 1151 65W
Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz LGA 1151 91W

Woah, woah, woah.
You have 22GB of RAM, and nobody really ever SLIs since it's such poor value and scaling is mediocre.
Stick with what you have and get a Haswell i7 as myself and many others mentioned above, performs within 10% of current gen CPUs clock for clock.
You'd also need to spend over $100 on DDR4 if you were to upgrade too.
22GB is more than enough for the next 4 years at the very least.

I only play a game called league of legends. I'm looking to run bots on my vmware while i'm playing.
Right now my vmware cpu reaches 100% so the system is not working properly.

My current ram is 22 GB. but i'm planning to go 32gb-64gb not sure.

I actualy wanna replace my motherboard because i have 2 video card slots and one of them is broken.
I don't really wanna waste cash on a lga1150 processor when i wanna expand in the future.

But i don't really know what the newer generation cpcu would offer me
I don't know about cpu's. Do you know the difference between the processors i mentioned and an i7 4490.
