Hello. I am upgrading my CPU, and need some help. Debating on what the best processor for my radeon rx 560 4gb would be. So for I'm seeing the i5 8400 & 8600k, a long with the ryzen 5 1600 or 1600x. I'm buying an aio collar, so I just need some help figuring out what my best option is. I'm also looking at 1080 with 144hz refresh rate. I play games such as ark, quantum break, league, overwatch, tomb raider, wit her, and would like to play in at least high.

I'm also thinking about upgrading my GPU or running due, any suggestions?
Debating on a 1050ti 4gb, or 1060 3gb if I can sell my current card, or buying a second rx 560, but I'm not sure if that would be worth it to run two 540 4gbs. Still new to building.

My budget for ddr4 ram, cpu and motherboard, as well as cooler, is $600. Anything left over will go towards gpu upgrade.
