I want an Intel CPU!

[Jsafah]

Can anyone recommend me a CPU/MOTHERBOARD combo? 

I play H1Z1, Counterstrike, Diablo, and Overwatch. Also I occasionally stream and make montages of my gameplay. (So some video editing). I have a nvidia 970 btw!

My price limit is $500. 

 

I watched Linus's recent vid about what CPU to choose, but I'm still not sure. Would love some community feedback/people with similar situations who are happy with their CPU/MOBO at around $500!

 

Thanks fam!

500 usd right? 

 

I would say the intel i7 6700k and asus z170 mobo combo on newegg. Its on sale rn and its just about 500 dollars

I recently made the switch from AMD to intel on a tight budget. Heres what I got :

If you budget for $500 is for everything, Including GPU and etc. Let me know, I'll make a pcpartpicker list.
