What CPU should i get?

[gotogaming]

Hello,

I was planning to upgrade from an i5 2400 @3,10ghz to something better. The motherboard i have is a B75MA-P45 (MSI) My budget is NOT more than 300,- euros. Also, when i try to overclock my R9 290 my screen gets black. Do i need a new PSU? I bought 2 Coolers and they functioned perfectly without issue. What CPU/Motherboard Combo would you guys recommend? Let me know, Thanks

looks like a nice combo, surely does look interesting. out of 21 Ryzen 1600 reviews 20 were 5 star and 1 was 4 stars, but the B350M PRO4 has USB Type C: Will my keyboard connect? This combo is really nice, thanks
