Hi guys,so first of all thank you for taking the time reading this,as the titel says i need some advices because i need to change my MOTHERBOARD and my CPU,my actual MOTHERBOARD is msi 150m bazooka and my cpu is I5 7500,i'm using a geforce gtx 1080ti and i need to change my CPU/MB so my question is, should i change the MB or the CPU first? i want the i7 7700k and as MB MSI H270 Thanks for your help.

If you are changing both then go Z370 with a 8600k. It's slightly faster than the 7700k at gaming and cheaper.

If you cannot buy both now you could buy the 7700k but make sure you have updated your BIOS to one that supports 7th gen CPU's. Later you can change to a Z270 motherboard allowing you to overclock the 7700k. I see no point in upgrading to a H270 with a 7700k as you won't be able to take advantage of the 'k' overclocking potential.
