What CPU and motherboard is the best for GTX 1060 6Gb

[gesh34]

I will buy an Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1060 6G graphic card and i wonder what's the best motherbard and CPU for this card so i can game at 1080p smoothly. I'm gonna also have the Kolink Refractor RGB Midi Tower case and i'm on a budget.
Thanks

You want the best? i5-8400 with Z370. But that's not budget-friendly option. So what is your budget for CPU+mobo+ram (unless you already have ram, then what you have)?

i'm from Slovenia and the prices here are high for all the components, so i was loking for for them in Germany or Austria and i have a budget of around 270EUR wihout the ram

The exact budget and the question of whether you already got the RAM (and if yes, which one) will decide what's the best choice for you.

I'll list the options that come to mind by general pricing (which mostly equals to performance):

1. Intel Pentium G4560/4600/4620 + B250 motherboard
2. AMD Ryzen 3 1200 + B350 motherboard
3. AMD Ryzen 5 1500X + B350 motherboard
4. Intel Core i3-8350K + Z370 motherboard
5. AMD Ryzen 5 1600/1600X + B350 motherboard
6. Intel Core i5-8400/i5-8600K + Z370 motherboard

Edit: For your budget, options 3 through 5 are possible. Note that the Ryzen "X" and Intel "K" models come without stock coolers, so if you don't have one yet the only logical choice would be a R5 1600 build

^^ assuming OP has either DDR4 ram already, or separate budget for it.

I'd pair a Ryzen 5(1500x) with this board. It's not too far above budget.

https://www.amazon.de/MSI-TOMAHAWK-Mainboard-DDR4-SDRAM-schwarz/dp/B06WVFFXXL is more popular and it has better cooling. The Gigabyte board has more SATA connections. They each have their benefits.
