hey, so my psu exploded yesterday and I feel like if I'm going to buy parts, I might as well upgrade what I wanna upgrade.

I'm looking for a motherboard + cpu that would be compatible with what I have already.

Budget: under $500 would be nice
More specific use (what games, what programs): streaming, league, cs:go, etc.
Planned time until purchase: asap
Do you need an Operating System?: no
Do you have any specific preferred components?: would like an intel cpu
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: no
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: OC if possible
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: no
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 76137 or 75254

right now I have 2x 2gb ram, gtx 760, planning on buying corsair 500w psu, a hard drive, a disk drive, and a cm 212 evo for cpu cooling. i currently have a i5 2500 3.3ghz and a biostar tz68a+, which is a 1155 socket. I want something better though.

I don't know too much about computers so if you guys need any more information let me know

thanks
