Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU, motherboard and memory. Budget is around $700. I've settled on the i7-10700 CPU at $280. So that just leaves the motherboard and memory. Maybe $200 on 32GB of DDR4 3000 or faster memory. Then probably ~$150 on a 560 series motherboard. Afraid I don't know much about memory and motherboards, which is why I'm asking for help.
