I am looking to buy this 1080 SC for 200-230 usd to put into my build. I currently have a 1060 6gb paired with a intel core i5 6600 3.30GHz. If I choose to upgrade my card, what would be a viable upgrade to my build cpu wise without getting a new motherboard? This question is about GPU's and CPU's so I decided to post in GPU section, I hope that is alright.

If you make sure you update your BIOS your mobo should be able to support up to an i7 7700K, which would be quite a bit step up.

CPU - Core i7 4770 RAM - 16GB DDR3 1600MHz GPU - XFX RX 470 4GB

SSD - 1TB TCSUNBOW X3 PSU - 500W Aerocool Integrator
