Question Looking to swap my cpu!

[KosmoLMAO]

I am looking to swap my i5-8500 cpu on a h310m pro-vdh plus motherboard, something more powerful that will handle my rx6600 better, anyone any suggestions?
I was thinking about the i7-8700k, what cpu should I get, preferably within 150-200 euro?

#1 Bad idea to run Core i7 on H310 chipset.
#2 CPU upgrade within same architecture is not worth the money, since gain in performance is negligible,

€200 can get you new CPU-MoBo combo, e.g:

i5-8500 vs i3-12100F,

Now, this increase in CPU performance is something to consider. But i still suggest getting better CPU if you have money money. If not, i3-12100F + new MoBo is better upgrade than just going with i7-8700K + aftermarket CPU cooler.
