I am planning to upgrade my processor but not sure which one to get, Motherboard, and my PSU
right now I have a Core i5-3570 processor and a corsair 750 power supply
I just got a gtx 1070 and love it, but want a new processor for gaming, and even streaming. I have a small channel and want to stream and record videos at 1080p if that is possible.
Can anyone recommend a processor and motherboard I can use for gaming and hopefully streaming. I saw the i7 6700k and loved it, but its there something else you recommend for around the same price as that? Also a PSU that is less likely to have coil whine issues, all corsairs I have ever bought have coil whine so fast and hate it. I was considering EVGA but open to all opinions 😀
 
Solution
Here's the build. You can just add your GTX 1070 to the build. Don't forget to add more case fans for better airflow (Don't know what you prefer so it's up to you).
As for the drives, they are only there as recommendations. Will you be leaving them in the old build?
You'll need a new copy of Windows for the new build.

If you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
