Unsure which CPU to move to

[Darrenj1471]

Hi, hope you can help. I have the following but am getting 100% CPU usage when gaming causing performance issues and feel its time to refresh my CPU. I believe I will also need a new motherboard as part of this so what would you recommend. Im thinking Ryzen 3600 due to price point but unclear if thats best option:

CPU: Intel i5-6600k
GPU: GTX1080
Memory: 16gig (mix of 8 gig ddr4-2400 and 8 at ddr4-2132)
Board: MSI B150M Mortar

Thanks in advance

I def cant be affording a new GPU also so have to limit my purchase to minimum ie id like to keep the memory too if its possible. As for the CPU and board I didnt really want to exceed max of £300, ideally less if possible.
Have seen the 3600 for 150 quid so if you could advise the best board for it that would be great

Thanks a lot for your help. I ordered the 3600 but actually went for a X470 GAMING PLUS MAX board , I assume that was an ok option ?
I cannot afford the memory right now so assume my current memory will suffice? I'll get it next month ideally
