[masterfalcon3000]

My motherboard is Asus h170-Pro , LGA 1151

1-What is the latest CPU that i can run with it ?
2-Can it handle i7 8700 or i7 9700 ?
3- What is the best low price motherboard that can handle i7 9700 or i7 8700 ?

Thanks in advance

hey man,

the best chip for your pc is a i7 6700(k) or i7 7700(k) after a bios update..
there is barely any difference between the two, and nonetheless I would get the i7 6700.

so 2 ) no
3) why would you need that? sure its newer but its not like its an outdated socket.

I do have gtx 1070Ti upgraded from gtx 960 , Both does have the same FPS gtx 960 has 99% usage on 1440p with +100 FPS and the Gtx 1070 Ti has 40-30% usage on 1440p , With i5 6600 3.50 , Tried to set resolution to 720p and lower the resolution scale as much possible , Got 90% CPU Usage with 150-200 FPS , So i think i have to upgrade the CPU so i can get stable 200 FPS on low settings fortnite and other competitive games

Am i right ?

well that depends on the game but yeah the competitive games are cpu bound..

but if u have money to spend ..
yes you can buy a z370 i7 8700k and reuse ram+ new windows instalation

It's hard to answer questions about an upgrade from your current CPU and about the performance of your current CPU without you actually telling us what the CPU is. Sounds like a CPU bottleneck, but I don't want to say for sure on such limited information.
