I'm considering a CPU upgrade and want suggestions. I'd like to keep my motherboard unchanged if possible.

7700K is the top CPU choice for any motherboard. https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(ch.../Z270.html

Visit the manufacturer's website to check supported CPUs. Newer chips might need the most recent BIOS update. Conduct price comparisons and decide if it's a good investment. If considering an upgrade, let me know your plans or what you're missing. Keep in mind, older high-performance CPUs can be costly, and a new board with a Ryzen 3600 or similar might be more practical.

6700k and 7700k look almost the same when running at the same speed. Still,...overpriced overall. It might be worth holding off until Zen 3 arrives.

You won the challenge, but verify if ASROck is compatible through BIOS. It's likely yes, though it's uncertain. That CPU serves as a good illustration of the point I'm making—it's costly and needs a high-quality cooler. More expensive than a standard new mobo with hexa-core Ryzen.

Thank you. I'm preparing my tower for single computer streaming.
