I am a complete novice when it comes to understanding which processor is for which motherboard - I have a ASrock Z170 motherboard and want to upgrade from the processor I have at the minute - I have been on the ASrock website but it just baffles me. Can anyone guide me to what would be the best processor for this motherboard at the present time

Is there more to the name than Z170? As I see AsRock's website, there is a lot of diffent models?
