Im looking into upgrading my i5-4460 to something that will pair better with my 1060, since ive noticed that my CPU is old by doing some research. Everywhere its stating that the 1060 can run mostly almost any modern games at 60 fps 1080p, but mine cannot and i feel its my CPU thats holding my 1060 back.
Thing is my motherboard is a z97 pro gamer, and is only compatible with select i5's and i7's. I really didnt want to replace my motherboard, just wanted a new CPU to go with 1060. But im willing to take some advice on if i should really change my motherboard in general.
Just need help on which one would suit the best for gaming. I was hoping not to go over $300 in total.
Here is a list of all of the CPU's compatible with my motherboard
