Hello everyone!

I've been out of the hardware scene pretty much since I last upgraded my pc (about 5 years ago), so I have no idea what's good for what at the moment.

My current setup is running an i5 3570k overclocked to 4.5ghz. I recently purchased a Gtx 1070 second hand to start playing 1440p. The rig is used solely for entertainment/gaming. What's the best cpu setup to accompany this these days? Looking at around £250 budget for the cpu itself.

Cheers
 
Thanks guys. Fully aware that I'll need a new mobo and ram as well, that budget is just for the processor. I'm fairly competent with building a pc, there just seems to be that many new iterations I have no idea what's good for what. Eg. The 3570k was an obvious bang for buck choice 5 years ago. Is there an equivalent today?

Mainly upgrading to try and get more performance - or are the latest processors not actually that much of a leap forward from the 3570?
