Several CPUs perform well with the 970 processor, such as the i5 8600K and i5 8400. It's challenging to decide which is the optimal choice since performance depends on your specific needs.

This Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm refresh) is an affordable option. Pair it with a budget B450 motherboard and DDR4 3200 RAM for great performance.

It varies. What are your plans for it? Do you have additional components ready? Are you focusing solely on new CPUs?

You're aiming for an 8th gen Intel CPU to match the capabilities of your ASUS ROG STRIX B360-H motherboard. For smooth gaming at 60+ FPS, you'll want a strong processor like the latest i5 or i7 from this generation.

Looking for clarity: What level of detail are you seeking? And which specific titles do you mean by "newer" games?

720p works, but I prefer something higher, like at least 1080p.

We chose this motherboard because of its reliable performance and solid build quality. Are you receiving it at a very low price?

I'm new to this site, but I saw a decent deal. The ASUS page says it runs smoothly on 8th generation Intel processors, and I learned some 8th gen models pair well with the GTX 970.

I mentioned 6600k. I owned one with a 970 for quite some time. My son still uses it. Nonetheless, I’m confident there are more affordable and improved AMD choices now, even if you need a new graphics card.
