Hmm, I just want anything with more than 2 cores, that can run on my motherboard, and that can record well without the lagging. My Pentium just doesn't cut it right now with some of the games I play.

Nvidia has Geforce Experience and AMD's had MSI Afterburner that offload the encoding load onto the GPUs.
If you would use something like obs and gpu bound encoding that wouldn't be a problem at all. https://obsproject.com/ Still it's good to have 4 cores with single threaded performance. Right now with dx11 it doesn't have much benefits but will dx12 allowing gamengines to talk with more then one core to the gpu that will improve great in overall performance.
Haswell and Refresh works both on your board. However refresh needs to flash the bios when your board is from an earlier shipping stack. When it doesn't have some features like ez-flash this needs to be done with an non-refresh cpu or bios chip can be pulled and latest bought of ebay, amazon for 5 bucks. <- Option when you brick it while flashing.
Can happen, had a power outage when flashing. Bad luck
I already have a refresh CPU, I have the Pentium G3258 atm, which is part of the HWR lineup.

Well typing at 3am mixes things up lol. I don't know about you but I keep my processors a while because paying rent, car, food, clothing etc. So 200 bucks does hurt and I keep them for at least 3 years. So in 3 years it would be nice to have that little extra performance. Only god knows what we are doing with pc's in that time.
Amd releasing zen, Intel probably will have skylake and lga1151 out. Or Cannonlake but that's only been rumored yet. So now whats the point asking when he knows what he wants in the first place.
Yes, but you'll have to upgrade the 4690 anyways when that time comes. I mean, they're honestly extremely similar in performance. Why spend $50 extra on something that will last just as long?

Because budget is there? When the money is not there then I would appreciate notifying about that that he's broke and just want a quadcore.
He/she never stated he/she doesn't have the money. It's just a waste to spend $50 extra unless it's a $1,000 build. Akame only has a 270 and the such. That extra 50 could be saved for upgrading that in the future or anything that will be upgraded. (Not saying it needs upgraded, just an example.) OP didn't say the part had to be at the max budget. Honestly, it comes down to being good with money and not wasting money, and being kind of strategic.
Karl speaks the truth, while I do have £200 to spend on new stuff, I'd rather now blow it ALL on a new CPU. I'm not looking for AMAZING performance, I only have an R9 270, not something like a 980 where a high end i5 would be needed to get maximum performance. An i5 4460 would probably do me fine with what I want to do.

I think the 4460 would honestly be a good option. Good luck with it.
What should I get?
Budget is £200, looking for a core i5, don't need a motherboard as I already have a H81 board, I'm not interested in overclocking.
I was considering the 4460, I really don't justify paying an extra £40/50 for what practically is just a higher clock speed

I have a 4690. Suits my needs.

Wow, forgot about MSI Afterburner, forgot to re-overclock my GPU too. That seems to have done the trick nicely.

It's a good price but I've never heard of that site. Not too sure if it's all that trustworthy..
