CPU Question

I am currently on the lookout for a new CPU to pair with my GTX 960 2Gb.

 

I currently have an Asus B350M-A, so the AM4 will be the selection.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions, within the $150-200 price range that will allow for maximum performance the 960 can output, as well as being able to upgrade to possible a 1060 later?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you sure it'll work with the B350 chipset? Doens't it need a BIOS update or something?

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

It does need a bios update but assuming the original poster already uses the board with some CPU he should be able to upgrade/flash the bios before getting a new CPU.
