I'm looking for help as my current motherboard doesn't support Intel CPUs so I was looking for something more idealistic.

Current specs;

CPU - AMD Athlon X4 740 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard - ASRock FM2A85X Extreme4-M Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard

I was looking for a new CPU for the future so any suggestions?

Thanks

We obviously can't help without a budget. I'll say the same as I said on your last thread though, don't upgrade your CPU. What you have is fine to hold you over for a few months. If you didn't have a system built yet and needed to buy a CPU for a system, then sure, buy a CPU now, but this just is not the right time for a CPU upgrade IMO. Kaby Lake is almost guarantee'd to launch within the next 2 weeks or so and Zen should be out around the same time as Kaby Lake. Could be a little longer though.
