Hey guys, my setup now is X4 880k processor, and GTX 1060 6gb graphics. Wondering what the best option for a CPU upgrade is, and where I can find it for the cheapest price. Thanks. Not looking for anything too expensive. £100-£200 ish. Thanks.

For your budget, the fastest i3 you can afford. Sure they are only two cores, but they have hyperthreading and fast clocks. What memory are you currently running?

Your current processor is socket FM2+ and is nearly the best performing one for that socket available so you really don't have an upgrade path unless your motherboard supports AM3 socket as well.
What motherboard do you have?
