Upgrading my Processor

Hi All,

I have been wanting to upgrade my Processor for a while now, I was just wondering what is the best processor I can get for my specs below i.e that will fit my motherboard and case etc.

I have and AMD but I would like an Intel processor, if you could suggest any intel processors and motherboards to fit with all my specs and case that would be epic!

I would like an i7 but if you could let me know if that would fit and work with all the other components.

Specs:
Chillblast Fusion Warrior Gaming PC
AMD X4 860K 3.7Ghz Processor
16GB RAM
1TB HDD
NVIDIA GTX 1060
500W PSU
GA-F2A68HM-HD2 Motherboard
Windows 10 Home 64bit

Appreciate the help!

Dean

You will need board/ram/cpu - and possibly a power supply depending on what your 500w one is.

Is the 100-175 budget for all of that?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/upgrade-bundles/intel-z370-overclocked-bundles Have a look at the bundles - this will give you a good idea of which boards/ram/CPUs fit your budget as a good starting point.

From there people can make suggestions to get the best bang for buck/combo.
