Upgrading my CPU?

[darbstew]

My friends and i like to play a lot of video games so the thought of recording them has came across our minds. im okay with doing the recording because i have a decent amount of money and i already built my own computer capable of what i wanted it to do at the time. But when ever i record videos they are choppy or it doesn't capture the video or the sound. ive tried Dxtory and ive tried OBS and ive tried Nvdia's little record thing. all of them dont work as good as i expected them to. i know its not the programs fault but its my lack of processing power. now i just got my federal and state refunds so i have the money to spend on what ever processor i need. But i dont know if i should go i5 or i7. im gonna but their brand new generation either way. heres my build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/darbstew/saved/#view=6yQrxr  and if you guys can help me with your opinions. feel free to add anthing else that you think is a good idea. i do plan on building a new computer but i do need to upgrade this one for the mean time. starting with the  CPU

whats your budget here?

[darbstew]

my budget is as open as it can be for GPU. im just asking about upgrading in a GPU sense. but its around 600$ but i know i wont be spending that much on a CPU.

what?, i know you mean CPU, and we need our budget, otherwise i would reccomend a 4790X  or a xeon e5

I see 4 builds in your link (right?). Please tell me which one and what you want and be specific, because I don't really understand what it is you want and plan on doing now that I've read everything. ( So please which one, what to upgrade, the purpose and the budget for it).

Since you have a Haswell built, Xeon 1231 V3.

So you already will have the "best" CPU you can get (not counting in higher clocked i7 CPUs, due to not beeing able to OC them with a low end chipset)

guys i obviously said i would be using it for gaming. all jokes aside we all know a XEON is not the best CPU for gaming. can we put the jokes aside? i gave you tons of info

sorry i thought that i linked the correct build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/h8psqs i think thats the right one. the correct build is the Completed build.

dude, a Xeon is NOTHING ELSE, than an i7 with no IGP, and not overclockable. Thats it.

Thus, its an i5 with hyperthreading, which is cheaper than an i7 itself.

 

It IS the best CPU for gaming, and better than an i5. This is Fact, and has been Tested more than enough.

Games Benefit from Hyperthreading already.

 

Edit: Tests have shown, that the said Xeon is compareable with an i5 OCed to 4,6 Ghz~

-If you scroll down you'll there are some issues with it already. 

-Why do you have this weard amout of small HHD's in it?

-Do you already have some parts? because a lot of them are black or changed prices.

 

Edit: I'm now going to eat, so don't expect me back the next hour or so.

Number one, the issues are compability issues with windows 32 bit. i dont have 32 bit so thats fine. and number two i got 20 of those hard drives for 10 dollars. so i got each hard drive for 50 cents each. 

MY COMPUTER IS BUILT. IM UPGRADING MY CPU AND IM LOOKING FOR A GOOD CPU TO UPGRADE TO

This is a good option, great for reccording/editing and that sort of stuff.

If you want higher quality gameplay/recording you should upgrade the gpu as well.

And maybe an SSD if you want for the booting time improvement and overall improvement.

thanks man. you seem to be the first mature person to actually want to help me on this forum so far!  i expected it to be better than this. this was my first build that i built and it was a budget build so i got some things second hand and whatnot from friends. but i notice that i lack in CPU power

xeon is great for the edditing/reccording and good for gaming.
