I don't get the CPU support from your motherboard manufacturer.
But your socket is LGA 1150, you can upgrade to i5-4690 or i7-4790.
Another option, you can check here :

thank you so much for the reply, can i also get the (K) unlocked versions of those cpu's? like the i7 4790k and i5 4690k? and on your own opinion whats better between them in terms of gaming. no streaming just purely solo gaming.

Well I'm not sure because a few motherboard need BIOS update or limited compability for "K" series. That the information I can't get from your motherboard manufacturer.
So that's why I recommended the non "K" CPU before, to make sure the upgrade is compatible.

And of course i7 will perform better than i5.

4770k should run fine, but the Haswell refresh chips such as 4790k might not if there had not been a BIOS update to support it.
