I have an i510400f with a 1660 super I wanted to upgrade my CPU but I'm also on a budget and was wondering what would be the best upgrade for my rig. my motherboard is an MSI MicroATX MB so I was also thinking I was going to upgrade to an ATX board instead of the micro so if you have any suggestions on that as well that would help.
 
there’s not a strong reason for the board it’s just what I had in the past and I like it then but as for having a different board like an itx or other variants I have no problems with it’s just what I’m used to

Most people do not need the extra slots found on full ATX boards.

You may be able to get the same overall quality micro ATX, with the features you need, for less money than full ATX.

I'd at least consider it. Might save 50 dollars you could spend elsewhere.

If Intel, maybe an MSI or Gigabyte micro ATX, B660 chipset; DDR 4 variant, unless you want the DDR 5 version.
