Well, I want to upgrade my CPU and my motherboard, but I dont know what is compatible with my components of my pc. The games that I play right now is most PUBG, so I want atleast to have 60-80 fps on normal. What CPU and Motherboard should I buy?
Specs:
Processor:AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core 3.30 GHz
Motherboard: MS-7641
System Memory: 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHZ
Power Supply: 750w Corsair CX
Current video card: GTX 970 4gb
Windows 10

Your GTX970 is still a very good card and should run anything decently at 1080P.

There are NO effective cpu upgrades available for your motherboard.

You are looking at replacing the motherboard, cpu and going to ddr4 ram.

What is your budget for this?

At the low end, $250 should buy you a G4600, lga1151 motherboard and 8gb of ram.
The higher clock speed will be a boost to your games.

Probably better is to go 8th gen.
I3-8100, Z370 motherboard and 8gb of ddr4 might be $400.

You can go up from there, but the I5-8600K and I7 8700K are top of the line and are hard to find.

If you need many threads for other than gaming, ryzen 1600 is good.

To see if your games can use many threads, do this experiment:

remove one or two...
OS: 64-bit Windows 10
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5-1600 / Intel Core i5-7600K
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB or better

A CPU like AMD's Ryzen 5 or Intel's latest Core i5 will be key in hitting 60 fps in Battlegrounds. CPU should have least four physical CPU cores.

The 1060 6GB is powerful enough to run PUBG at an average 60 fps at 1080p Ultra settings, while dropping as low as 44 fps in its most intense moments. At 1080p medium, though, it averages 90 fps and should never drop below 60.

The previous-generation GTX 970 performs almost as well as a GTX 1060, but if you're shooting for 60 fps with a more entry level graphics card, expect to drop the settings down to low to achieve that frame rate.

To see if your games can use many threads, do this experiment:

remove one or two cores/threads. You can do this in the windows msconfig boot advanced options option.
You will need to reboot for the change to take effect. Set the number of threads to less than you have.
This will tell you how sensitive your games are to the benefits of many threads.
If you see little difference, your game does not need all the threads you have.
