You're looking for an upgrade option that works with your H110 motherboard while still allowing overclocking on an unlocked CPU. Consider checking out the Z590 or Z690 motherboards, as they support higher overclocks and are compatible with your current setup.

Probably not. A Ryzen 6 processor and a motherboard would cost less than a Skylake i7. Additional cores offer future upgrades.

wouldn't it be more affordable to go with the same CPU generation? That's why I prefer selecting CPUs from the same lineup. I plan to replace my i5 with a higher-performing model within that range. If I decide to purchase new components, I'll just hold off until models like the 3100/3300X or Zen 3 with a B450 motherboard become available (I can't afford PCIe 4.0). But I've opted for used parts now.
