As the title says I'm currently trying to upgrade my cpu. I'm currently using a amd fx 8350 and im looking to upgrade to a good intel cpu. i5 or i7 I would like to get a cpu that can keep up with 144hz monitor. I'm guessing i7 is probably my best option for that. However I think I'm gonna have to upgrade my MOBO and my ram sticks before I can use anything skylake. As I understand it ill need DDR4 ram to use skylake cpu. I currently have ddr3 but I'm confused as to what are my options in the MOBO department or if I even need to do that. I know I'm gonna have to get new ram cause mine are 1.5v.
So my question is what are my options?
System Info
MOBO: GA 970A UD3 Gigabyte
CPU: FX-8350
GPU: GTX 1070
Ram: 4 DDR3 4GB 1333Mhz
PSU: Green 650W
I also use a HDD don't think that matters but thought i'd throw it in there. Trying to do this in under $450 if upgrading mobo and ram is more it's fine ill just get the cpu done at a later date.
Here is a current part list that im looking at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GYDbgL. I'm wondering if its that much of an upgrade or if I'd be better off waiting after getting the mobo and the ram to buy an i7.
