So i bought a new GTX1060 gfx card, it seems to be limited by my processor and isnt performing at all, so need a new processor, was looking at the i5 6500 - but to do that i need a new motherboard.

What was meant to be a new gfx card is turning into a new everything so if i could find one thats cheap thats great.
I use my pc for gaming, things like WoW, League of Legends and Planet Coaster. Im from the uk too if that helps.

All advice appreciated as im not that computer savvy

I recommend the ASRock H170M Pro4, it's a good motherboard that runs on the H chipset, since your cpu is locked. $100 USD might be too much, however it preforms really well. This is my opinion, although there are probably better ones out there.

It would depend on if you have a PC case that will support a standard ATX board or you need to get a mATX board. (your also going to have to buy new DDR4 memory) I would get either of these depending on the size board you can use.

To keep from having to buy new memory then I would get this instead.
