Hey everyone! I'm a bit of a newbie here, and I've been using the same setup for about two years now. Soon, I think I might struggle to keep up with new games, so I'm considering upgrading my motherboard and CPU. Currently, I've got an ASUS STRIX 270F GAMING motherboard and an Intel Core i5-7500 CPU, paired with a GeForce 1660 SUPER GPU. I'm hoping to get some recommendations on what to upgrade to, with a budget around 500€ but I'm open to spending a little more. Thanks in advance for any help!

You should definitely aim for a motherboard and CPU combo that supports newer tech. I'd recommend looking at AMD Ryzen or Intel's latest chips. Given your budget, you might find a solid Ryzen 5 CPU paired with a compatible B550 motherboard. This combo will give you a noticeable boost in performance, especially for gaming!
What do you think about sticking with Intel? There are some good CPUs like the Intel Core i5-11400 that could match well with your budget too!
