Hello everyone!

My current build is:
Intel i5-6400
Motherboard Intel B150M PRO-VDH
24GB RAM (Two 4GB units of DDR4-2400 Sport LT from Ballistix and Two 8GB units of DDR4-2400 Sport LT from Ballistix)
NVIDIA geforce 1070
Case model: NOX Hummer ZS Zero Edition, ATX MID TOWER CHASSIS
1TB HDD and 250GB SSD

I was thinking about upgrading my CPU as I believe it is bottlenecking my game performance, however in order to do so I think I might have to also upgrade my Motherboard and RAM (if not compatible).

I use my computer mostly to play Rocket League, Valorant, and sometimes NBA2K21, Fifa21 or Warzone.

What are your recommendations regarding upgrades to boost my computer performance while playing?

Thank you so much for your time and help!
