[Marriott7]

I currently have this motherboard and a A-10 6800k with Nvidia GeForce GTX960 and I have performance issues, im not sure if im bottle necking my PC and should upgrade my CPU or upgrade my CPU and motherboard if there isn't a good replacment CPU.

I wouldn't invest into a older socket. What is the most you can spend on upgrading?

Around £250-£300

Thanks for the suggested parts, they are something I will seriously consider for upgrades

If the performance issues your having is a low FPS then getting a better CPU/MB/RAM will definitely help, either the Ryzen 5 build I posted above or a Kabylake i5 build would be a massive improvement over your current system.

What would a Kabylake i5 build look like? I can go over the £300 budget if the upgrade would be much more signicant

Something like this but TBH I'd go with Ryzen 5 since it can be overclocked and has more cores/threads so multi-tasking or doing any kind of video editing would work better. You could get a unlocked i5 & Z270 motherboard but it's going to cost quite a bit more since you will need to buy a aftermarket cooler. This build is the locked version.

I would still go with the Ryzen 5 build over these two.
