Well, since you already have an 1151 board... I'd say just upgrade to a better processor. Either an i5-7600k ($229.99) or an i7-7700k($339.99) - newegg prices

you could get away with the non overclockable i7-7700 for $304. As for the i5-7600k.. the normal 7600 is only $10 cheaper so you may as well stick with the k.
 


For Streaming and Gaming, go for the 7700.

I do not think you have to install windows again, but I would search to make sure.
