With $200 you think I could get a good intel cpu and motherboard?

$200 max for both? You can get a Intel CPU and mobo, but they wouldn't be particularly good.

Something like this would probably be your best option with Intel if you already have a graphics card and can go over your budget a bit.

If $200 is a hard limit, replace the CPU with an i3 8100.

Could also look into AMD.

Why do you want to switch to intel? I would wait till mid summer and buy a ryzen3000 cpu.

I agree, I see no reason to switch to Intel. I don't even know if any sort of upgrade is necessary, I'd say a 2400G is a pretty decent match for an RX 580. Maybe just needs a little overclock if anything. Is your PC not performing as desired in some way?
