In very general terms, for the 2xxx series Ryzen, select a b450 or x470 motherboard that has the features you like. If you plan to STAY with the R5 you will more than likely be fine with a good b450.
Check the QVL for the mobo you select and look for compatible RAM. 16GB (2x8) DDR4 running 3200 and certainly not below 2933.

First off, what is your budget? Second what are the rest of the system components, that you are keeping, first and foremost, the make/model, of your power supply? You also might want to read this, and reply back with relevant information.

There is no such thing as a 2400k. Only k series i5, from second gen, was the 2500k. I would highly recommend a better quality PSU. An SSD really is ideal, also.
