Best upgrade for CPU: e5-1607 v3

[xxx4reggie]

Hello,

I have a Dell Precision 5810 Tower that I got for a really good deal (almost free).

Some specs that I know of in it are: 64GB RAM, couple SSDs (500GB), GTX1070, E5-1607 v3 CPU @3.10ghz

I mainly play Division 2, Overwatch, Heroes of the storm (when bored) and Diablo 3

 

I want to upgrade the CPU as I believe that could be the bottleneck of the PC for me. What is the best gaming oriented CPU I can go with for this PC? I don't know the MOBO details yet, but it's stock Dell stuff.

My budget is limited to 300 max (and that's kinda pushing it). I don't need to OC since the mobo is stock and the case isn't really going to help with airflow. And I will be passing this PC to my kiddo once I am ready to actually build a good gaming rig (which I will OC).

 

Any recommendations guys?

Let me know if I need to provide any more details.

So found out my RAM is ECC so I'm limited to Xeon CPUs.

Question is, which is the best bang for the buck for gaming?

Help!
