I need to replace my Motherboard and Processor with something to go with my GPU! Please help.

My Specs:

GPU: RX 480

CPU: FX 8350

RAM: 16GB DDR3

Motherboard: MSI MS-7974

I'd like to upgrade the Processor and maybe go for Intel. What Processor and Motherboard would I need?

if you want to your replacement be worth, you'll need to replace the RAM.
Ryzen 5 1500 is a very good deal on benefit x cost and it's a great upgrade, compared to the FX 8350.
If you want Intel, 8 gen I5 can run most games in good quality.
MoBo there is no big deal, just get one that will supply your needs (RAM and PCI lanes, ssd support and etc)
