Want to upgrade cpu, but need new motherboard.

[Lemonysnizzle]

I hate computers and I am a little salty about having to buy a new motherboard just for a new processor, but anyhoo... Thank you very much for coming to help, as I would be lost with out you guys.

My computer now : AMD FX-6300 processor, 8GB system memory, 1TB hard drive, geforce gtx 780, Gigabyte Ga-78LMT-USB3 (motherboard)

I want to get at least a good i5. I cant run 7 days to die that well, so something is horribly wrong in where I want to be, which is being able to at least run 7 days good on medium to high and h1z1 or the playerunknown battleground game on medium. As well as battlefield 1. I would think the i5 would be good enough with my gtx 780 for that at least. I also dont know which i5 to get. Apparently there are freggin different ones...
I was thinking of getting these two items, but these are higher than what I would like to pay. Please keep in mind, I know nothing about the pins, plug ins, or anything. I fear getting this motherboard and something else will not fit or something.

You should be able to get everything working together, but you will also need some DDR4 RAM.

This may be late but im gonna say it anyway.

I would really recommend ryzen. The am4 platform will be supported until 2020 and ryzen is really smooth in games rather than intel. Something like a ryzen 5 1600 would be more than enough for your gaming and its cheaper than an i5 7600k. Let me know your budget and ill try to put together a system for you. Ps. Also tell me what psu you have
