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...

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:
