Approximate Purchase Date: Within the week if at all possible.
Budget Range: Around $500 after shipping and tax
I know this is asking for a lot but if I could get 3 different options (Budget, middle of the road, and money isn't an issue) for combinations of CPU and Mobo that would be fantastic
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No, already have 2
Parts to Upgrade: I need to upgrade my CPU and Mobo
I'll be reusing my PSU: EVGA 700W ATX12V/EPS12V 80 Plus Bronze

Do you need to buy OS: Hopefully not since I have a retail version of windows 10
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, and any retail store like best buy or walmart since i'll be able to gets the parts faster.
Location: Nazareth, PA
Parts Preferences: I would like to stick with Intel for my CPU but I don't really have much preference for Mobo brand.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 on both.
Additional Comments: Mobo needs to be Micro ATX to fit in case. I'm not really one to care what it looks like or how loud it is, I more care for performance so I would like it to run games like ARK: Survival Evolved, CS:GO, and Apex Legends.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My Mobo doesn't quite work anymore and I would like to think of this as an "opportunity" to upgrade my CPU and Mobo since my CPU is kind of ancient at this point.
Parts Selected: So far I have looked into an i5 9400F as a budget CPU option (it's around $120 on best buy) but I haven't looked into much other than that thus far.
