Upgrading Processor and Motherboard

[hawk468]

    Right now, I have a decent desktop and a good laptop. I'm looking to upgrade the processor and motherboard in my current build, but I know very little about this. The parts list of my current build is here, minus the CPU and motherboard. I am looking to make a computer that is good for music production and audio. I'd like it to comfortably run Reaper or Ableton Live while simultaneously browsing the web and typing in a word document with zero slowness. I have an okay i5 6500 at 3.2 GHz, but I'd like something faster. I probably want to go team red, so can anyone recommend me a Ryzen and a motherboard? I'd like one with builtin WiFi, but other than that I have no constraints. Thanks!

The psu is a bit crappy, you might wanna consider swapping it out
