What PSU do you currently have? You should look at something like the i5 range of processors. If you were on an H110 chipset board, I'd have said you're in the perfect value'd CPU category with the G4560.

200 of what?
You could get i5-7500 for ~200 USD.

My psu is 430w evga

The g4560 isn't good for me because it's bottlenecking my rx580.
I upgraded from a gtx1050 to a rx580 and there was little difference because this guy said the cpu was the problem.

Well, if its really socket 1151 then for around 200 bugs the i5-8400 would be my choice and recommendation.

You should check upfront at the MSI homepage which Bios version is required to support which CPU. Potentially a Bios flash is needed before upgrading.

i5-8400 is not compatible with b250m vd pro.

Well, why not? What did I miss pls?

EDIT: you are right of course. i5-8400 is an 8th gen CPU even stated as socket 1151. Thanks for correcting me! 🙂

In my opinion an i5 isn’t enough of an upgrade over the g4560 to justify the cost. Both are 4 thread CPU’s, you are just going from 2 core with 4 threads up to 4 cores with 4 threads. Unless you jump up to an i7 you may be disappointed with the performance increase.
