I currently have a i5-6400 and i am looking to build a new pc and i was just wondering what components people recommend? I am looking to build a pc with a rtx 2060 which is why i am not sure whether i need to upgrade my cpu if i did what cpu should i get and what motherboard. I have a budget of around £1000.
If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks for the help, you ticked all my boxes except I am a bit sceptical when it comes to ryzen as i have never had one and don't know what there like and if they're reliable or they will be future proof. Are they going to be future proof and are they reliable?
