Hey everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my current CPU, i5-6600K, but looking for some answers and advice.
1. Can I use any Intel processor with my motherboard, ga-h170-gaming 3 ? I've looked online, but I'm getting some different results, or maybe I just don't understand.
2. Based on the above answer, should I just go with an i7 something or an i9 (if Possible)? Recently a lot of the new games are struggling with my current CPU (Cod, Madden, Starwars). And I'm starting to see a trend. I have a Nividia Geforce-1070 graphics card and 16GB of Ram. I'm not running into any issues on that front. My main concern i guess is that by buying i7, I'll just be replacing that sooner than I would like.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
