I currently have an i3-2100 in a computer with a gtx 980 graphics card. Obviously the CPU bottlenecks the system. I am looking upgrade the CPU. What I want out of the CPU is the following:
-No longer bottlenecks the graphics card
-Meets the recommended requirements for all modern games
-I would really like to play PLAYERUNKNOWN's Battlegrounds with my friends, which I heard is hard to run
-Lastly, I want it to be affordable. Out of the CPUs that meet the above requirements, I want the one that is most affordable or gives the most "bang for my buck"

Do you want to do a motherboard swap or stay with your old (and it must be 5 years old) motherboard?
An i5-2500K would probably be good for a no motherboard upgrade
A G4560 with a B250 motherboard and DDR4 RAM would be the other option.
