Upgrade Capacity

[Repz016]

I will build a PC soon and i have a question about it.

 

Lets say use a good motherboard, 750 Watt PSU, 16 GB ram, SSD. If i add a CPU that fits in a LGA1151 socket, and a Good GPU at the time, in the future will i be able to upgrade the CPU and the GPU later down the road and get good performance, or will the Motherboard be a bottleneck in the future.

GPU yes, absolutely.  Cpu probably not, depending what chip you decide you want

Not a "bottleneck" per se, but if you get a 9th gen CPU your upgrade path will be limited, whereas Ryzen will have a lot more upgrade potential because AMD is releasing more products for the AM4 socket. Also, you won't be needing 750 watts, even my rig draws a measly 400 watts.

What type of CPU or Mobo? If there different series, there not gonna be compatible. heres a little list

6000 series- 100 series mobo

7000 series- 200 series mobo

8000 series- 300 series mobo

9000 series- 390 series mobo

This does matter or it will not function

Wait, so if i go with a i5 8500 today, (LGA1151). and a some motherboard now. i cant upgrade to a future i7 9xxxx Non K, processor to the same motherboard?

Both AMD and Intel tend to release new motherboard chipsets every cpu generation. Sometimes motherboards with the previous chipset are compatible with a BIOS upgrade. When this is so the older chipset usually lacks features found on the new.

Coffee Lake motherboards will support Coffee Lake Refresh cpu with a BIOS update.
