Upgrading Motherboard/CPU

My power supply fried and took my motherboard with it so looking to upgrade.
ATM i bought a Corsair CX850M power supply. I'd like to keep in range of the supply for the time being.

I was looking at the Crossblade Ranger, but cant figure what processor I should get with it. Now I am currently open on this point for other options.
I currently have an AX5770 1GBD5-H video card, upgrade advise would be appreciated but not my focus here.

The corsair cx series are for basic builds only, if you overclock I heard it will burn some of your components.

What do you do? Game? Render videos? Cad work? Budget would help also.

Doing what: Gaming Mainly, streaming is planned(definitely want to run games near or at ultra)

Budget: up to 500 per part (thinking around 2.5k-4k total)

With that budget you could of got a PSU that won't fry your motherboard again :/
