Best budget i5 cpu for my current build

[shawn333]

Hello everyone,

I've been thinking of getting a half decent i5 instead of pursuing my initial plans of going with the Pentium G4560.

Currently I have a Gigabyte b250m motherboard, 8 gb ballistix ddr4 2400 and the n200 coolermaster case.

My budget for the cpu is around cdn $250 to $300. Also, would it be best to get a 600w psu instead of 500w if I plan on ordering an RX 480 8 gb later down the road?

If you have B250, best power/money ratio offers i5-7500. 7600 is not worth the money IMO, and 7600K you could not overclock on B250.
500W should be enough IF good quality PSU.
