Looking for any advice on building a new computer i'd like to go towards Intel either the i7 or the i5 if i can utilize anything from my previous build i can add those extra $$ towards an upgrade.

so my previous build is:

CPU: AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Asus A88XM-A Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard

Memory: PNY XLR8 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: ASUS GeForce GTX960 2GB

Case: Raidmax ATX-321WB (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Power Supply: OCZ-ZT 550W

I do light video/editing work and gaming (PUBG/ARK/LOL) and some others but i've been noticing pretty bad fps drops when playing PUBG even on lower setting.

so any advice on a build utilizing the i5 or i7 would be awesome. im still new to building i tried to look into alot of different builds but get lost when putting one together at PC part picker. i'd like to keep the budget around 1k to 1.5k.

again thanks for the help!

Attempt a pcpartpicker build and we'll fix it up for you.
Problem with the newly released intel 8 series is that only the expensive motherboards are out. Cheaper boards to be released in near future.
Id suggest an i5 with a samsung SSD, the best nvidia card you can afford running on win10.
It does not need to be overclockable. A bit of an unecessary luxury
