Looking for the best mobo and cpu for a total of about 500 dollars. I currently have a MSI 7640, AMD 6300 (not overclocked) the stupid huge Sapphire R9 390 Nitro 8gb and 16gb Corsair RAM (2sticks). I also have a hyper D92 dualfan cpu cooler. Ik this has been asked a bunch of times but with the new Zen release and whatnot im not sure whats good for the price anymore.

Well, for $500 you can have your pick of whatever you want (barring one of the $1,000 Intel chips, of course).

Biggest questions are:
-- do you plan to OC?
-- do you want DDR3 or DDR4?
-- do you want an M.2 slot for an SSD, or plan on sticking with SATA III?
-- do you want SLI/CrossFire capability?
-- do you want mATX or ATX?
-- do you want onboard Wi-Fi?
