Hello friends! Longtime reader of threads on here, never posted or registered, until now 
So yeah i've just got into the world of Gaming via Xbox One and bought a Hauppage HD PVR 2 and an XSplit subscription to stream games over Twitch then be able to edit them via Sony Vegas Pro 13 pretty quickly. So onto my questions...
1. I currently have the G1610 which takes about 2 hours to render a 20minute clip, way too slow for my liking! So I'm looking at buying the Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz Socket 1155 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor to replace this, how much of a different will it be for stuff like Sony Vegas, Photoshop, the odd Football Manager game, maybe a few emulators running etc, raring and un-raring large files and the like?
2. I currently have an Asus Radeon HD 6450 2GB DDR3 graphics card which i understand is a pretty useless graphics card, or am i wrong? But if it is a useless one, am i better of buying a new one to do what i need it to do, if so i'd love to be pointed in a good direction regarding what sort of models i should be looking at, and if i'm to buy a new Graphics Card i would like to "future proof" it so i could take advantage of the i7 (if its as good as it looks) and even play mainstream games such as Call OF Duty, FIFA etc.
3. This question should actually be the first one, as its the most important question of all, i currently have a Gigabyte H61M-DS2 DVI motherboard which uses Socket LGA 1155, would the processor i'm thinking of buying be compatible with my Motherboard?
4. The i7 processor comes with on board HD Graphics 4000, is this better than the graphics card above and would this play any decent games thats out, or coming out?
I'll just attatch a few images of CPU Z for the state of what my computer is right now, just incase the info above is not enough! Hopefully with the information i've provided i've covered everything and you lovely lot could help a guy out!
Thanks
