Cpu upgrade

[MrColour]

I currently have a i5 6500 with a rx 580 8gb ram at 1080p 60hz

I been looking at i7 10700f ($340 cad), i5 10600kf ($255 cad) and i5 10400f ($175 cad)

the cheapest motherboard is about $100 cad and a overclockable one is about $200cad

im not sure what other cpu i can buy or if there are better cpus please let me know thanks!

R5 3600 can be found at MSRP (200usd, I don't know it's case msrp) at Newegg, and it'soverclocking and  xmp capable b series boards can be about 100 (usd) for the good ish ones.

Are you looking for gaming performance because if so the GPU needs the upgrade firs?

I have a 2600x which is fine for me, 3600 is usually around 300USD, and then a B450 PRO4 from ASRock is a solid choice with it's 10+2 phase power.

I don't really need gaming performance but when I use my computer normally my cpu usage is always near 100% i reinstalled windows but no luck

ic sounds good i will take a look but would that be better than the i5 10600kf or i7 10700f?

i plan on playing games like gta v csgo witcher maybe red dead redemption i also play hearts of iron 4. Just wondering but if i dont plan on overclocking do u think its worth getting a k cpu? I think overclockable motherboards are really expensive rn.

Not worth it. K series CPUs are meant to be overclocked, and if you don't plan on doing so, then it's a waste of money.

Best you use the extra money for something else, like for your GPU or your motherboard.

but if its cheaper than the non k version wouldn't it be better to get that one? 10600kf is $254, 10600k $289 and 10600k is also $289

Sure, I guess.

Also go for the KF ones, because those don't include integrated graphics, and you save money doing so (which then is used for other parts).
