Im struggling on what processor to get

Solution
Why would you go with an outdated CPU now?

Good motherboards are hard to find and EXPENSIVE if you do happen to get lucky.

Better option would be 6th or 7th generation I7's, Skylake or Kabylake.

Motherboards would be less expensive and are current.

I have an I5 Ivy Bridge machine as one of my other machines, but I wouldn't build one new now.

I had to check the date of this post... jaw dropped.

I had an i7 3770K (but had to sell the rig for moving money), it was a fantastic CPU. But you should be looking at options from AMD Ryzen or a Skylake/Kabylake i7.
