Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone would know of a good CPU+Motherboard combo that would get better CPU performance then my 6800k due to the fact that I don't need its integrated GPU anymore. I would like this to preferably be an intel CPU and i5.

 

Thanks!

You could probably spend way less on the motherboard though. That is a nice motherboard, but it has way too many unnecessary features.
