Hey everyone! I'm currently using an i7 8700, but I've been experiencing some issues that make me think it's time for an upgrade. I have 16 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3200MHz, a GTX 1080 graphics card, and a Z370 motherboard. What CPU would you recommend for my setup? Thanks a ton!

Just a heads-up, the i7 8700 isn't officially supported by the Z270 chipset, which is probably a mistake in your post. If you really have a Z370, then you're good to go for an 8th or 9th gen CPU. You might want to consider options like the i9 9900K for better performance!
Yeah, there are BIOS mods that can add support for 8th gen CPUs on Z270 boards if you still happen to have that.
