New Motherboard and Processor

[Benjamin Shaeffer]

I was wondering, if anybody would have any idea of what I should put into my computer, Currently I have $250 and was wondering if I could grab a new motherboard that can fit these things and work good. I was looking on upgrading my processor to a i5 but my current motherboard isn't that great so if somebody would help that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

What I'm looking into-
ASRock H170M Pro4 LGA 1151 Intel H170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
---
Intel Core i5-650 Processor 3.20 GHz 4 MB Cache Socket LGA1156
---
I'm not sure if these are compatible, but if they are I would be willing to buy them both. Here is the rest of my specs.
---
Processor=AMD FX-4200
GCard=GTX 750 ti
RAM=8GB
Power Supply=600w
MBoard=GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0

That mobo and CPU ARE NOT compatible.

On top of that, if you're trying to go for Skylake, you have to buy new RAM.

For $250, you could do this that would be far better than your current build.

You would have to buy a new motheboard, CPU, and RAM if you go with a H170. You need a Intel 6000/7000 CPU, DDR4 to work with the 100 series Motheroards.

You could use your Video Card and power supply from your old build and that is about it. along with case, hard drive, disk dive.

That CPU is not compatible either.

Obviously, that will not work.
