I need help deciding what sort of CPU/Mobo combo would work best for me.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on what Mobo and CPU would be a good fit for me at the moment.

I currently have a Pentium II X6 cooled with with a CM 212 evo, along with 16 Gb ddr3 memory and a GTX 1060 6gb. Upgrading to ddr4 will be too costly for me if i'm upgrading my CPU and or Mobo. I'm kind of conflicted on whether I should stick with my current am3+ Mobo and what CPU to get, or shoot for any type of lg11XX Mobo and what sort of CPU to accompany it. I'm aware if i want to upgrade to am4 I have to move up to ddr4, so that is out of the question at the moment.

Any help and or more knowledge on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I'll look into those. I figured it would be best to make the switch to Intel rather than get a 8350 or 70, this confirms it. What brand would you recommend for the Mainboard? Also would it be ok to keep my current cooling? I just bought it, and wouldnt like to bin it right away lol.
