you have a overclockable mobo which is great,so you should pair it with a overclockable cpu.The most powerful cpu your mobo can support is i7 4790k which is a beast.The 'problem' is that they dont make them anymore so that means you are going to have to buy them used on sites.In my country they retail between 150-200 euros.You could sell your 1060 + add that 200e left for a stronger gpu.
You could get around 150euros for that 1060 6gb,so at the end you are left with 350e.I suggest buying a 5700 XT for 400e.Also is that 320gb SSD the only storage drive in your pc?

Edit:I just saw that the cheapest 5700 XT in your shop is around 300 euros which is amazing

On a value level the 2600x and a B450 board



I know the general concensus would be the 3600 but the fact is the 2600x is €40 less, has a better cooler and performance difference is fairly negligible really.

Save that €100 towards a better GPU in the future.

No point putting any more money into a Z97 system, second hand prices for 4th generation i7 are terrible.

thanks for your suggestion, but would you recomend this CPU: https://www.pcdiga.com/processador-amd-ryzen-7-2700x-octa-core-3-7ghz-c-turbo-4-35ghz-20mb-sktam4

Or the Ryzen 5 3600 ! (edit)

with that same MB and rams that you suggested?

You'll be fine with the 2700x on that board if you're happy spending the extra.

I'm dubious as to whether you'll see any benefit strictly for gaming but on a future proofing level the 2 cores 4 threads extra are there it has to be said.

Thats coming from someone with a ryzen 7 that barely actually makes use of more than 50% of the cpu.

The 3600?? Its a great cpu, the issue I have is that at the same price as the 2700x, unless you're doing 144htz+ gaming, it doesn't really have any perfoemance difference.
It also comes with the spire stealth cooler which isn't good enough so there's another €30-40 on aftermarket cooling.
Then a msi max board or a b550 which is extra money again.

The 2700x is a good choice,it's a beast of a cpu irregardless of it being last gen.
I don't ever see it struggling over the next 5 years in any scenario whatsoever.
