Gaming/Streaming build

I would do as Stulid recommended and overclock the 3820.

Going X99 is going to be very expensive. What software are you using to capture and stream?
 
You will need to buy new DDR4 RAM also though, your current DDR3 won't fit in there

Roughly £150 on top for 16GB

ClearCMOS maybe you accidentally set Fastboot in the BIOS.

Try other USB ports, or best yet use a PS/2 keyboard which will certainly work.

Don't GB have a windows utility whereby you can click bios and the system restarts and you go straight into the bios. I have one on my Asus X79 Pro, ASUS Boot Setting.
Even have one on my MSI Kabini board.
 
Instead of buying a new system, why not look at using different software and maybe a capture card.
What sort of upload speeds do you get?
 
I manged to find a program that lets me overclock my current 3820 cpu without going into bios it's called easytune 6.

This is my build
Asus GeForce GTX Titan 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i7-3820 3.60GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail
Gigabyte X79-UP4 Intel X79 (Socket 2011) DDR3 Motherboard
NZXT Phantom Enthusiast USB3.0 Full Tower Case - RedWhite
Samsung 120GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gbs Basic - (MZ-7TD120BW)
Corsair Hydro H60 V2 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (Socket LGA2011 / 1366 / 1155 / 1156 / 775 / AM2 / AM3)
Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX)
XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver' Power Supply

I get given 4 options of overclocking i was wondering what you guys think i should go with.

Default option.
stock 3.60ghz

Option 1.
3.84ghz

option 2.
4.08ghz

option 3.
4.43ghz

What do you think guys
 
Easytune is a pile of crap on the older boards.

You may find it uses way to much vcore for any given speed. Doing it yourself is the best way.
 
And you tried clearing the CMOS?

Download @BIOS which is a windows based BIOS flashing utility and update the BIOS if it is well out of date.

That may help the board recognise your keyboard.

But before that, get CPU-Z and it will tell you on the motherboard tab which BIOS is on your board, you can then work out how many versions you are behind.
 
Judging by what you want to do, a i5 4690k would handle it all fine.

But if you're not worried about the prices then go for the i7s people have been suggesting, you will see little to no difference for what you've mentioned though. D:
