Budget (including currency): Max. is 600€ but you can of course recommend more expensive solutions, too. Maybe I've got a little bit more spare money.

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games: Red Dead Redemption 2, AC: Valhalla, Rise of the Tombraider, The Outer Worlds, kinda recent games in general, programming, virtual machines

Other details: see picture

 

So, I'm fairly new to all the hardware stuff. I know some basics (thanks to LTT and a few others) and I know I got a bottleneck with my GTX 2060 Super and my Intel Xeon E3 1230. Thus, I want to upgrade my CPU and I guess I also have to upgrade the old motherboard too. Problem is that I don't know whether if it's just the motherboard and the CPU (maybe RAM too?), and which motherboard and CPU to choose. Could you guys give me some tips?

Best regards

Given the fun being had trying to find parts for good prices, what is the maximum CPU your current mobo will support?

type of upgrade. Add a PSU if the current one is as old as the motherboard and CPU. If it's newer like the GPU and a good model keep that.
