I can play CS:GO, Fortnite, Unreal tournament league of legends and more on a dual-core and a 1050ti, 1080p medium-high settings at 60 FPS.

Then why do you want a better CPU in the first place? If your i3 fits your needs, keep it. Your current platform has no upgrade path anyway. Upgrade when you need to.

By then i would have upgraded to a 8th or 9th gen CPU. 4 cores are not bad with a 1070ti. that's probably what my next GPU is.

As long as you don't do that on 7th gen. Get a 2nd hand CPU if you do, I wouldn't pay more than $90 for a 7th gen i5 which is the same as a current gen i3.

No. Not when the Ryzen 2600 offers better value.

I would like to get a better processor for my build but i'm not sure what will affect my gaming performance. My budget is $200-$250 and i would like a 7th Gen Core I5. I was looking a the I5-7400. What would affect games? Core count or # of threads? Recommendations greatly appreciated.

 

 

Edit: I have a I3-7100@ 3.9 GHz and a EVGA 1050ti

pretty sure you can get a used i7 6700 or 7700 for way less than your budget, and you wont have to buy a new mobo. Decent CPU's for a couple of years still.

Yeah, I saw that post... Chose to ignore it because it was a stupid reason worth keeping the dialogue of alternative options open for the OP to reconsider their available choices.
