Upgrading my PC

[Tiress]

Hello I am looking to upgrade my current PC, http://pcpartpicker.com/list/9GzKWZ. I want to upgrade my CPU and GPU for better performance but I don't know if I even can. I was looking at the Geforce GTX 960 and Intel Core i5-4460. However, I don't think the 4460 is compatible to my MOBO which is the H110M-A-CF. I was also looking at getting a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for my CPU since I don't trust the intel ones. If it isn't compatible then should I just spend a little extra to get an i5 6500 or 6400 or should I just get a new MOBO and stick with the 4460? I think the 960 is compatible with my current MOBO but im not 100% sure. If I should just get a new MOBO then which one should I get that would be compatible with all the parts? Thanks!

The i5 4460 would be going back a generation. The skylake equivalent is the i5 6400. They should also cost the same. If you can get the i5 6500 or even the 6600, why not.

GTX960? At that price, I'd get the RX 480 4GB or GTX 1060 3GB. GTX960 is old news and outdated now.

Your current motherboard is perfectly fine.

Hyper 212? May I recommend the Cryorig H7 instead? Better cooling, easier to mount, more secure mounting mechanism, better aesthetics (imo).

Hello amtseung, thanks for the response. I am most likely going to go with the 1060 and 6600. I will probably not be getting a cooler as I think the default heatsink will be enough since i'm not overclocking. Thanks again.
