Could you guys in the know please pick me a processor for gaming :)

Been using the 960t with a big overclock 4.1mhz and was hoping it would last me until haswell but it isn't holding up to borderlands 2.

£220 is my budget for processor + motherboard

I don't ever want to sli as I plan on just getting new card every year.

I would want to keep my ram
4x 2gb kingston 1600mhz 888 24 @1.65v

Thanks for any help
 
Thanks for help guys I am using the msi 660ti overclocked to 1300mhz 7200mhz and that is doing perfect :)

My cpu is definetely bottle necking pretty bad it's running above 90% most of the game and there is a couple of levels where it gets to 100%.

My cpu is being used more in this borderlands 2 than battlefield 3 online.

So should I just save for a bit longer and get the 3570k and pair it with the £85 gigabyte board?
