Need some recommendations on a good CPU + Mobo combo, weather it's Blue or Red, it needs to be budget so i7's probably out the window, willing to spend max £200 for CpU and £120/150 for Mobo but any cash you can shave off is appreciated. I know with a bit of tinkering in the Bios you can OC the non K Intel processors. So not fussed about that either. Need to be a good multi tasking CPU.

 

I use most Adobe CC programms and game at mid to high quality on most popular games.

Best that fits the budget i5-6500

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0136JONRM/?tag=pcp0f-21

 

Any mobo will fit with a 120p - 150p range. You can get a Z mobo for oc but if you don't want it then here

If you want I can get i7 6700 (non K) for 250 pounds and get a cheap mobo. Total cost of mobo and cpu should not go over 320 (200+120)

Mobo: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01A9GHD3G/?tag=pcp0f-21

Interesting, however you lose out on features with the cheaper Mobo, it's a possibility however,

Good insight :)
