Any good upgrades to go from an i3-8350k that wont bottle neck a 1080ti or a 2060? cpu bit out dated and need something more powerful to balance out the gpu as well.
 
The highest CPU compatible with the motherboard is most likely a 9700 (8 core/8 thread) or 9900 (8/16), but they might need a BIOS update to be recognised.
 
As mentioned above, you're looking at a coffee lake processor of some sort, and you should probably make sure your BIOS is up to date.

Depending on your budget and what you can find at what prices, the best processors for your board are likely to be - i7 8086K/8700K/8700, or from the coffee lake refresh line an i9 9900KS/9900K/9900KF/9900 or an i7 9700K/9700KF/9700/9700F.

After that the i5 9600K and i5 8600K are also worth a look, if your budget is a little lower.

I just went from an i3 8100 to an i7 9700 in my ITX build, which has been a nice boost.
