I want to change my CPU but idk what to choose

[Claping]

Hello, I'm looking forward to changing CPU and motherboard
I have a budget of 120$
Activities: Stream and game

SPECS:
CPU: i5-2400
MOTHERBOARD: LENOVO 7033GL1
GPU: GTX 1050 TI
RAM: 8GB DDR3 ( i don't want to change RAM cuz I don't have the money)

I mean there isn't much to upgrade as if your budget is 120. The i5-2400 performs as well as most budget cpus. If that's your budget I'd recommend the ryzen 3 1400. But with the ryzen 3 you'd need a whole new motherboard. I actually use an i5-2400k on my PC paired with a 1030. So you could just stay with the i5 or raise your budget to expand your options.

Unless you are willing to go with a used cpu/motherboard, I don't know if you will find anything for under $120. If you are still using the original Lenovo case you will probably run into more problem because I bet a lot motherboards won't fit into it (just a guess, but the big name stuff is often less than standard).

Well ... that does open up some options ... how you feel about going to a used i7 2700k? Same number of cores, but it adds hyperthreading and an extra .4 GHz ... might get you an extra 10% performance in CPU intensive things. Is your CPU currently running 1 or 2 cores at 100% in games? If not, it won't get you much.

You could upgrade your processor or upgrade your RAM for the cost OR you could buy a SSD or another hard drive for extra storage
