Hello, first of all, sorry if I am posting in the wrong section, this post has multiple topics and questions I need to ask.
I use my computer for Gaming, some Rendering, Overclocking, and Browsing. I am looking into upgrading my computer. I'm looking for more performance in games, trying to get more of an overclock, and a little faster render time. I don't know if it would be better to upgrade my Cpu, Motherboard, or Both. I'm looking into the Intel i7 7700k for a CPU (I'm not interested in AMD Ryzen), and I want to overclock it. But I think I need to upgrade my motherboard if I want the new CPU. I'm not sure what Motherboard would be best for the CPU, I did search the internet to try to find an answer, but all the answers are $250 motherboards. I don't completely understand the Socket Support so I don't want to go chose something I'm not completely sure of. I'm looking for a Motherboard that can overclock, and can support an Intel i7 7700k for around $130-$190USD. Also, should I only upgrade my Motherboard and just overclock my CPU?
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX8320 @ 4.1GHZ w/ Stock Voltage
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 +100 GPU Clock +650 Memory Clock
PSU: Corsair CX750M
If you need anything please just comment and I'll post it.
