Question CPU help for Asus prime b360m-c

[Textreme]

Hello there, looking for a little help.

I was looking for a new motherboard and my friend gave me his Asus prime B360-m board he bought but ever used

I have a gt1660ti 6gb gpu, 32gb ram and 500w psu which will all slot into the newer board but having checked the manufacture site, the cpu I have, an i5-7500, isn’t listed as supported, some other sites show it is, but I’ve decided to upgrade so after some advice about which cpu to look at with this configuration?

Thank you in advance

Random google search for b360-m specs and some list that it is, either I won’t use that cou, but since I’m buying an upgrade, any help with what to go with?

i7-9700KF isn't much more for 8 cores.

Also the 8700K which is 6 cores 12 threads like more recent i5.

But honestly, you can easily just do this:

If you're looking at buying an 8th/9th gen processor I'd suggest ebay or the like because otherwise you'll be spending enough money you should just buy a brand new platform entirely.

Not really an option, I’m based in china, parts here are in plenty of supply, but ordering online from places like eBay and Amazon take too long for delivery, mainly looking for help with which cpu is a good option for the motherboard I have and then I’ll just hit up one of the computer cities and find Said cpu

8700, 9700 or 9900 non K SKU are the highest performing CPUs which will work in that board (8700 will be faster than 9700 in some heavily multithreaded workloads, but that's it). You would need decent cooling for any of those, and I'd be a little concerned with the VRM temps as it doesn't seem well cooled and isn't very extensive which means higher temperatures.

Something like the 9500/9600 might be a little better on the VRMs.
