no its an amd board , there's no CPU available much better than your own .
To upgrade you need to upgrade motherboard & ram aswell.

You made an unfortunate choice if you ever wanted to upgrade.

You buy a APU for the excellent integrated graphics.
But, there are no real good upgrades, particularly for a gamer.
If you install a superior discrete graphics card, you will have thrown away the big advantage of the APU.
Then, you are left with a relatively weak cpu. Most games depend on only a few fast cores.
The possible upgrades are to more cores, but few games will use more than 2-3 cores so more cores are not very helpful.
Bottom line.....
What you get with a APU is what you will live with forever.

Your GTX1060 is excellent.

Look into a 7th gen Intel G4620, a lgaii5i motherboard and ddr4 ram.

G4620 is a good budget cpu.
Yes, it can run on a inexpensive H110 chipset motherboard.
The caveat is that 7th gen processors, like the G4620 will run on a H110 motherboard only if there is an enabling bios update.
H110 motherboards made in 2017 are likely to have the requisite update, but you CAN get old stock.
If you do, you will need to borrow a 6th gen cpu to is the update.
If that can be a problem, it is better to buy a B250 based motherboard, it will be a bit more expensive like $65.
Here is an example:
