Absolutely that is. That's the latest generation i5 CPU. I think the only one above that one is the i5-8700k, which is a small difference.

The only problem is that I'm not very knowledgeable about Intel-Chipset Motherboards. And after looking at your motherboard's QVL list, I noticed that 8th generation Intel CPUs are not listed (probably because it came out after your motherboard came out). So maybe...


one more question, I've been searching and found this one, you think this cpu would be good enough?

Intel Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz BOX

So maybe someone else can tell you if that's a good fit.

I don't want to give you a bad recommendation, so according to the QVL list, the best option you can get is the Intel i7-7700K, which goes for 329.90 Euros in Amazon.fr

This is the QVL compatibility list of your motherboard:
