I am planning to upgrade my PC to run new games like forza motorsport 3, but I don't have infinite budget and I'm not 100% on what to get.

Motherboard: ✓ Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
Ram: ✓ 16gb
Power supply: ✓ 500w
CPU: ✘ Need opinion - AMD FX-4350 Quad core 4.2ghz
Windows: ✓ 7 will be 10 soon.
Graphics card: ✘ Needs upgraded - current sapphire OC r9 270 duel.
Case: ✘ Needs upgraded - Current vantage case

This will be the last upgrade made to my PC for years to come so I need something that will run games at 60fps and VR HTC VIVE. I don't want to buy a gtx 1060 to be let down in a few years like im experiencing with my r9 270. I also need it to be able to record/stream (why I need a CPU opinion). For example I'm looking at a 1070 with liquid cooling, but I have no experience with that. Should I wait until January and try for a cheap titan ti?

Thank you.

Upgrading your CPU won't do much for you.

Upgrading the GPU at or beyond a 1070 would start to bottleneck your rig, no matter what CPU you get.

Unfortunately this PC is going to be disappointing in a few years regardless of what you put into it.

I think it is time for a 6600k...
