What is the best processor I can use? [on hold]
So right now I have an M11BB computer that I've replaced many parts in (STRIX R7 370 4GB, 8gb 1866MHz RAM, new PSU, second (faster) HDD). I'm looking now to upgrade my CPU so that I can play Battlefield V (I can run Battlefield 1 fine, and I am 100% positive that it is my CPU bottlenecking the game). What processors, if any, would be compatible with my motherboard and would be a decent upgrade that would let me run this game better?
Let me just make this clear for those who refuse to read this: I AM LOOKING FOR A PROCESSOR THAT WILL FIT IN THE SOCKET OF MY CURRENT MOTHERBOARD

@Ginge from what I can tell using AMD overdrive to monitor GPU and CPU activity in-game, the GPU is only at about 50% usage while the CPU sits at 100% constantly. Does that not mean it's the CPU's fault?

If it is a new processor, I would recommend the intel core i5, or maybe the AMD Ryzen 5? Although I am not sure that this is a good choice, as I have not used it myself. On the other hand, my laptop with an intel core i5 runs smoothly, and is good for multi-tasking.

For your Motherboard: A10-7860K
Like you already said, you need a new PSU. With a new PSU, a GTX 1060 would work fine, though it'll be bottlenecked by the a10-6700. If you wanted to get an i5-6400, you'd need a new motherboard and new RAM. Intel uses completely different sockets from AMD. Also, the i5 uses DDR4 RAM while the a10 needs DDR3. On the plus side, if you upgrade your processor your GTX 1060 won't be bottlenecked.
Is there a processor that is better than the a10-6700 with not as bad of a bottleneck that wouldn't require a change in a motherboard? If so what would you recommend?
There aren't too many better processors for the FM2+ socket. You could go for something like an A10-7860K, but it wouldn't make a large enough difference to justify the cost.

Although these may be very good, it is very expensive, and most people would not want to spend a lot of money on a computer part, although it may be very fast
