I think it would be best to wait, and save up for a better upgrade.

Simply I can't, this computer I'm using is on its last legs, and I'm having to livestream Xbox One through it, and it struggles.

The thing with the computer I built is that its upgradable.

Spend a few more pounds and get the 6300 FX processor. It will handle streaming at ease when compared to the 4000 quad core FX one.

Will need a new motherboard with that, any recommendations?

Sorry it's saaying this -

Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs.

Both are compatible with the AM3+ socket. All it requires for you to do is a bios update. Google on how to do so.

Better budget build for you with better performing hardware. All is compatible.

I don't want a micro motherboard and case as I would look to upgrade in the future.

I really like the Zalman Z11 CASE.

While on a budget, it's the best you're gonna get. Unless you can find another 40 pounds from somewhere, then you'll be able to get the Z11 and a 970A chipsrt ATX board.

Its fine. I'm running the FX 4300 and PC Part Picker told me that too. As long as they both are AM3+ socket you are fine! Go for the 6300 though. I made a mistake on the 4300. 10$ more and I could have .1GHz more and 2 more cores.
