I'm unsure wheather to wait for the 3000 series prices to come down to retail or to just upgrade now. I wouldn't want to upgrade just the cpu and have it carry the gpu.
I'll be playing most titles at max/high settings, CSGO solid 300+fps, ESO solid 144+fps and Battlefield 2042 to run smoothly at high/medium settings.
I'm running an 144hz monitor and wouldn't really be neccessary to get 144 fps in every game just high stable fps.
I've found a cpu and mobo to go with it, let me know what u guys think, It's my second time going for an AMD cpu and this one is quite a big upgrade...
CPU:

MOBO:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083HZ7...pcg-gb-1264724601494156300-21&geniuslink=true
and my current pc setup (built in 2016):
Case:.......................Corsair Carbide 400c
Motherboard:.....AsRock Z170 Gaming K4
CPU:........................i5-6600k Skylake 3.5GHz
CPU cooler:..........be quiet! Dark rock3 pro
Graphics card:.....MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GAMING X
RAM:.......................Corsair Vengance 16GB DDR4
Power supply:.....EVGA 650w platinum
HDD:.......................WD 1TB (WD10EZEX-00BN540)
SDD:........................Samsung M.2 SATA 256GB (MZHPV256HDGL-00000)
Should I upgrade the GPU too? If so, any suggestions? Can I run an NVIDIA GPU with an AMD board? How will this affect performance? Will the mobo fit my current case?
