Best CPU for gtx 1060 6gb Reddit

I meant best motherboard, not best CPU like it's in the title.

I want to get these components and a motherboard mainly to play games but I know almost nothing about motherboards. I want to get the cheapest motherboard that's compatible with these components and that's durable and maybe has some other qualities I don't know of, there are most definetly things I'm missing that distinguish some motherboards from others, sorry for my ignorance.

A redditor has recommended the Micro-ATX MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4 motherboard but I thought it was quite expensive at about 150€ but I don't know if it's still worth it or if I could get a cheaper motherboard that's also compatible with my components and gets the job done.

So I bought a 1060 6gb but heard that my i3-6100 will cause a bottleneck. That being said, what Cpu do you guys recommend? I've heard that Cpus from other generation that isnt 6 or 7 wont be compatible, is that true? Because of this i'm thinking of getting a i7-7740X, is it worth or there is a cheaper one that is better?

im very new on building a pc so i have a very limitedd understanding on how to pick a good gpu. im already set on building my pc around a gtx 1060 6gb so now i need to figure out everything to go around that. what would be the best cpu to go with a gtx 1060 6gb?

Current setup is a AMD 7850k with a GTX 1060 6gb, which is bottlenecking in some games.

Was thinking maybe a Ryzen 5 2600 would be better suited to this GPU but that would mean a new mobo as it’s currently on a gigabyte a88xm.

I’m fairly new to PC building so don’t want to make any bad purchases, would appreciate any advice before going ahead with anything.

Budget is around £200 but could stretch to a bit more if necessary.

Hi all,

For a few years now, I've been using a gtx 1060 6gb with an i5-4430. This combination obviously wasn't ideal and has some pretty major bottlenecking, but the CPU was something that I just had lying around before I even purchased the GPU. I had planned on upgrading much sooner but the pandemic and my own laziness got in the way of that.

Now that I'm getting around to upgrading, I would appreciate any advice you can provide on a good choice of CPU to go with my 1060. I will definitely need a new motherboard and RAM as well, so I would also love any advice on those fronts. I do plan on upgrading my GPU as well eventually, but that will probably be at least 12 months from now (it will probably be a midrange GPU). As a result, a CPU recommendation that would also accommodate future GPU upgrades would be appreciated.

Give me some suggestions Amd or intel it really doesnt matter to me , also i might be looking to upgrade to a 20 or 30 (mid range) series card in the near future so id want something that can handle that

So I have a gtx 1060 6gb and the cpu I am currently using is an xeon x3470. What would you guys say is the best match for me, would appreciate If you throw in some recommendations for motherboard and ram.

The motherboard is a ms-7658 with 2x 1333 ddr3 8gb sticks of ram
