Which CPU and motherboard should I pick for best future upgradability? – TweakTown
Ask the Experts: Sebastien wants to know which CPU and motherboard he should pick for best future upgradability over three years.

I’m doing a new build with my RTX 2060 as a starting point. First question. What CPU would cause closest to 0% bottleneck? Second question. What motherboard would best fit with these + having the potential to upgrade the CPU in one, two, or even three years? Thank you.
Hi Sebastien,
I’ll do my best to answer this!
With the RTX 2060 as your first building block, I’m going to say you will want to start with i7-8700K or Ryzen 7 3700X to get no bottleneck from the CPU.
As far as being able to upgrade…
