So Im doing research on what new CPU to have as an Intel i3 6100 3.7GHz is not good enough for video game streaming, and i've searched everywhere and i need help about the socket for the CPU, the motherboard i have is an ASUS H110M-R with a 1151 socket (i think) and i'm not sure what cheap CPU i can buy that is compatible with my motherboard! Any ideas what good CPU that is cheap, good for game streaming and suits my motherboard? I'm new to the whole scene of going into the insides of a PC so any information to help would be greatly appreciated!

First, here is the link for the compatible CPU's for this mobo

Not sure what your definition of cheap is but if the i3-6100 isn't cutting it I think that an i5 won't do it either, they both have four threads. To get the performance you seek you may have to get an i7 which has 4 cores / 8 threads. This is what is supported and is best for the money right now but it is not cheap.

if you want to take a chance on an i5 then get this
