Hey Lads, just recently I sold my 980ti and brought a 1080 (for $70 more ;D) so currently thinking its about time I upgraded my cpu and mobo. At the moment I’m still using a i7 2600 but from what I’ve seen with performance statistics it would be worth a cpu upgrade only problem is I have no idea what cpu +
Mobo combo will look good but not be overly expensive?

well, I'll give you a couple of options.

First comes the Ryzen 1600 build, which is somewhat midrange, 6 physical cores, pretty solid CPU.

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor ($198.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-AB350-Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard ($81.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($184.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $465.97
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Next i'll give you my favorite suggestion, VERY strong CPU, 6 core 6 HT! Very fast, and Turbo mode yields...

What are your current full system's specs? Please list them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

You would need to undergo a complete platform change. We're currently sitting on the 8th Gen of Core I processors from Intel while we're into the AM4 socket from AMD. How much are you looking to invest in your pseudo upgrade?
