i do not have much budget for new CPU. Currently sitting at g3258 overclocked on 4.3. is there a similar processor in price up to 4670k, and better than it? Is there anything better at this price?
Is it still worth buying i4670k

4670k or even the 4690k is still a solid cpu. you'd gain the extra cores and some speed from the G3258. i'd not spend a ton on the cpu since it is old. but for a good price it would be worth the upgrade for sure.
i still have a 4690k system and it's not leaving me wanting more yet.

If you want to avoid the cost of a new motherboard/DDR4 ram/CPU then yes, upgrading your current CPU is the most cost effective way. You could drop an i5 4xxx or i7 4xxx in there, depending on the motherboard CPU support you have. The 'K' processors are meant for overclocking. You are an overclocker, but I'd remind you that your main benefit in upgrading is gaining the extra cores and threads. So overclocking isn't really a priority.
Myself, I'd favor an i7 if possible, because games are already making use of more than 4 cores/4 threads. However, an i5 is still going to get the job done assuming you have a decent videocard. This all depends on the software you run of course. The more cores the game or software uses, the more benefit you'll get from a CPU upgrade. If you play less demanding games then you might not see any benefit. If you are videocard limited, you might not see any benefit.

I have gtx 660 ti 2GB as videocard. My demands are to be able to stream games like LOL or Fortnite or PoE at 1080p 30 fps without lags.
