Any help is appreciated<3

Please post your full system spec.

My motherboard is a GIGABYTE B250M-DS3H
My graphics card is a GEFORCE GTX 1050
My power supply is a EVEA/EVGA(Logo is weird) it is 600watts
my Processer is a Intel Core i5
And then i have 2 sticks which is 8GBx2 so 16RAM

Which i5, specifically? Would need to be 6xxx or 7xxx to work in that motherboard.

i5-8400 2.8 GHZ 9MB Cache is what it says on the box

The 8xxx i5's are not compatible with the B250 motherboards.

You need a 300 series chipset board (H310, H370, B360, B365 or Z370/Z390) for an i5-8400.
You'd need a 7xxx series i5 for that motherboard.

Ugh welp new processor here i come thank you for your help

I'd opt for a board opposed to a new CPU.

For the money you'd spend on a 6xxx or 7xxx CPU, you could buy a compatible 3xx motherboard for the i5-8400

i have untill april something to return it to Amazon which is where i got it, id get like $211 so im not buying a whole new one with separate money, but would u still recommend a different motherboard? anything in mind that you know would support everything i have?

Yeah, keep the 8400 and return the board. Assuming you can return the board?

Motherboard Comparison

There are cheaper options, but these all have 4 dimms slots for future upgrades.
