cpu upgrade.

[jaydam]

Hi Gurus

Currently running a Intel Core i7-2700K 3.50GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor and am looking at upping the cpu..

My system is used for gaming / music work / photoshop work so it does take a bit of a beating.

My question is i have a
Asus P8Z68-V GEN3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard & G.Skill RipJawsZ 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz DualQuad Channel Kit

so what would be my best combination if i were to upgrade the cpu?

so what cpu would toy recommend? and will ineed to change any of the other hardware (mobo and ram)

CPU Budget appx <> 300

Thanks all x
