Looking for a good Amd or Intel motherboard and chip that could get me 90 to 100 fps on gta v and other high quality games. Hopefully keeping the price under or around $500.00 Cad I am not to sure what my best bet is at the moment my old pc had a core I5 but now I'm upgrading to ddr4 so far this is my parts list of what I got.  Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated can't really spend to much at this time. Sorry if this is the wrong forum Linus and others.
