Right...

CPUs...

What is the current sweet spot with gaming?

i3, i5, i7?

And what socket/chipset for a little Overclocking.

I know with O/C I need the K series chips, or is that not right any more?

i5 for gaming all day, the Z chipsets for gaming, Z170 / Z97 ect depending on the chip, and then you need the K series chip to overclock.
