Despite the long title, the rest is going to be short and sweet. I've upgraded my GPU and now need a better CPU to compliment it's power.

However, my motherboard is also quite outdated and only supports older CPUs.

I need a good Mobo and CPU combo for higher end gaming, I don't stream or record videos.

Case - MicroATX Guardian

I don't have much of one. I would rather pay for reliability and high quality than not. (Sorry for not including it)
As long as the motherboard is compatible with microATX and the processor is compatible with the motherboard, then suggest!
