Need Help Picking Out a New Motherboard And CPU

Build - Help

Hello! I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard and cpu at the same time (I'm going to upgrade my gfs much older desktop with my current motherboard and cpu when I upgrade). I have no idea what I should upgrade to. Price isn't a really a factor. I'm in the U.S. so I use dollars.

Here is my current pc parts:
