Hi! I've begun playing games such as Forza Horizon 3 and am considering more challenging titles. While thinking about upgrading from my 750ti to a 1060, I checked benchmarks with my current build and noticed my i5 6400 is struggling. I've considered several options, like switching to a Ryzen 3 1200 and overclocking it. However, I saw others successfully overclocking their i5 6400s up to 4.0GHz. Since my motherboard doesn't support overclocking, I'm now looking for a budget-friendly motherboard that allows me to do so. If you have any good LGA1551 boards to recommend, please let me know below.
