Well, I've had a gtx 1080 (rog strix edition) paired with an i5-6500 and well... let's not get into that. Anyways what I'm looking for is a new cpu that goes well with the 1080. Unfortunately my mother board doesn't support anything above 7th gen intel so I was thinking to switching to amd. Regardless I have to get a new motherboard that'd support whatever I'd buy. Which leads down to the final problem, budget. Something that holds well for It's price and value would be much preferred as I'm not looking to buy anything expensive. Preferably something that's within the range of $400-$500 (Including the motherboard) would be great.
(A side note, I'm in Australia so by generalizing the currency from where you guys might help me pick the parts would most turn out as this: $1usd=1.44Aud so If you could go by the notion that'd help me even more)
Thanks for your time!
