When I built my PC I went for a 1060 + i3 8th gen + 400w good quality PSU.
However, I later upgraded to a 2060, and accordigly 550w cx550m.
In some games the 4 cores 3.6 GHz processor bottlenecks a bit the gpu, so I was thinking about upgrading again.
Don't want to change the mobo so I found that the new i5-8400f 4.1ghz boost has the same socket as my i3. On pcpartpicker It gives me a disclaimer that the mobo May not have the BIOS to run It therefore I would Need an older CPU to update It, which of course I do. The website of my mobo States that It Is compatible with 9th gen Intel however I'm not sure it was already there when i bought it. Any tips?
