i didnt know that my new motherboard wouldnt fit with my old cpu so i need to change my cpu also now so what cpu should i get in this system thanks

As th ere are several 600-650 watt PSUs in the $55-$60 range, that would be my target. (I'd much rather be running a PSU at 50-60% of it's rated load vice a smaller one at 75-90% of it's rating, despite many folks advocating it's perfectly fine to run most at 95% of their rated capacity..)

As for CPU, if you choose a "K" series (which you can never overclock on a B365 board anyway), you now also need a new cooler...(DarkRock or Scythen Mugen 5, etc); many are happy with the somewhat thread-limited 9400F or 9600 which come with coolers, but, either of these would/should likely be a 'no streaming' system, what with zero threads to spare for any extra tasks while gaming...

If you have aspirations of gaming while streaming, chatting/...

If you have aspirations of gaming while streaming, chatting/ Discord , and watching youtube simultaneously on a second monitor, I'd consider a 6c/12t system like a B450/R5-2600 combo... (and personally, I'd prefer this to a 6c/6t system like a 9400-9600K, even if the 2600 is slightly outperformed in average/peak FPS simply for the more consistent minimum FPS levels (the infamous .1/1% lows) on the low end....

hmm well im not into overlocking but i can change my motherboard also because in market now amd ryzen 5 3500 and 3600 are much cheaper then intel cpus so i can go for amd i guess but dont know really what to do case is done gpu is done but i really get confused about cpu and motherboard the reason im buying new motherboard is i got m2 ssd to put it in thats why also
