I need advice for upgrade

[SerdarY]

Hi,

Thank you all for reading.
I want to do livestreaming with GTA5. Unfortunatly i'm having game-crashes and probably my CPU is bottlenecking. I'm thinking of buying a Intel Core BX80646I74790K i7-4790K, but thought I needed some expert knowledge on this.

I have the following build:

• 
  ■ Gigabye Z87 G1. Sniper
  ■ Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3220 @ 3.00GHz
  ■ Noctua NH-D14 CPU-cooler
  ■ AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8G D5
  ■ G.Skill TridentX F3-2666C11D-16GTXD DDR3
  ■ Coolermaster M2 720W PSU
  ■ Crucial M4-CT128M4SSD2 - OS
  ■ Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD503HI, 500GB - DATA/GAMES

What would you recommend to able to stream flawless and still have power to play GTA5 with lots of mods.

Thank you in advance.

Huh??

Why would you recommend a Xeon CPU when he has an overclocking motherboard I didn't even mention price?

Get the CPU you first mentioned, and if budget allows, get a better PSU.

Doesn't need to be right, but everyone can have their opinions

I was just curious man. I just don't understand the thought process behind it.

price. 4790k around 350, the other one is under $250

Thanks for the advice. This has been an surprise. Never thought the Xeon would be almost comparable to I7-4790K. I thought it had a huge advantage over it. GTA5 and some of the mods are heavily CPU-depended, but I think the Xeon will handle it just fine.

So I have 2 questions left:
What PSU do you recommend? Is the XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply enough to run my setup.
Also, I am looking for a quality good screen for around 300-400. For now I will buy 1 screen, but in the future upgrade identicals. Which one is highly recommonded for 4K gaming?

the xeon is the same as a 4790k without the onboard graphics, and losing the overclock ability.
do you need the overclocking? not really.

the xfx will handle your rig very well.

4k gaming for 300-400 isn't going to cut it.
if u want a good 4k monitor to game on, u need a bigger budget.
imo look for a 2k gaming monitor.
like the asus rog pg279q

Thanks for the advice. So I'm looking at different monitors also curved once and 21:9 ratio.
With most of them there is a refresh rate of 60hz. Does this even count and on what part.
Considering the pg279q has 165hz.

your gpu is really strong pick whatever monitor u like
