I wanted to see if anyone could tell me the best intel i7 1155 chip there is under a budget of $400.

It needs to work for video rendering of for gaming servers with high CPU usage. Thank you

I'm pretty sure that all mainstream Intel CPUs are under $400. Only LGA-2011 CPUs are above that

I would go with a 3770k, but you're better off with a 4770k and compatible motherboard.
