ROG STRIX B250G GAMING
and I want to get a strong cpu for windows 7.The important is: fully compatible,which means I can play games without problem,no error,etc.

What cpu you recommend?It can be strong.

"is that motherboard windows 7 compatible?"

Yes it is:

As for gaming, there's more to consider hardware-wise than just the CPU.

thanks.my problem is the compatibility,because i7 7700k doesnt work with windows 7 right?

It is compatible, just not supported.
You'll get this screen, when trying to update windows 7.

Thank you,so that means....I can install it without problem?....only the security?.....Cause if I have anti virus program,I don't think there will be trouble,cause Im using xp on another machine and no problem.

I don't know rest of your hardware.
1st - you will have to integrate USB drivers into installation.
If you want to install on NVME drive, then also several hotfixes and additional NVME drivers will have to be integrated into installation.
Also - you'll have trouble updating windows, because windows update will be broken initially.
And if you manage to fix it (bunch of hotfixes have to be installed manually or integrated into installation) after that you'll get the "Unsupported hardware" nag screen.

If you think all of that is worth it, then go ahead and install windows 7.
With windows 10 everything is much simpler.

BTW - antivirus will not help you against unpatched OS vulnerabilities and exploits.

then I'll get another cpu,can you tell me strong windows 7 cpu's?All the other things are compatible.Motherboard is fine,vga works too,so the cpu is the only problem I think. xp works perfectly,but It's another thing then.What parts has to be compatible?

You'll have same problems with every modern cpu and windows 7.

Windows 7 mainstream support has ended already on 2015.01.13. Extended support ends on 2020.01.14.

Intel Core i5-6500 Skylake Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1151 and this?...I've red that this will work,but I rather ask more people.

Why are you so determined to stick with windows 7 ?

cause I want windows 7 and looks like this cpu will work perfectly,cause it's fully supported.

There are ways to circumvent "Unsupported hardware" nag screen.
So - that is not really that big of a deal.
