It appears the system is LGA 1151v1, compatible with both 6th and 7th generation processors.

Current installation: Check Task Manager under Performance > CPU to see details.
Missing performance: Identify the bottleneck you're experiencing.
Budget: Determine how much you're willing to invest.

Playing Crew 2 on Intel Core i3 7100 at 3.90ghz, CPU stays under 100% during gameplay but gets quite hot. Price range is around 200-250 dollars, max around 275.

i5: 6600(K), 7600(K) i7: 6700(K), 7700(K) These are the top choices for your board. Purchasing used will offer you the best return on investment.

Yes. However, note there are versions 1151v1 and v2. You're using version 1, while the others are labeled differently. These names aren't official, just my way of referring to them, and they don't work together.

To identify whether it's version 1 or 2, check the specific details or features unique to each release.

Verifying the CPU details, I see it's an i3 7100 with version 'v1'. Both the 6th and 7th generation models are confirmed as 'v1'.
