Help with CPU choice based on link inside

I'm looking in to buying a used system with the following mobo:

https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-AB350M-HD3-rev-1x/support#support-cpu

 

It's comes with a Ryzen 5 1400 (which is 4c/8HT) and I'd like to bump up the CPU to something more in the vein of 8/16 (or so) 

I am far more of an Intel Xeon fan, so I really don't know the "bang for the buck" on Ryzens here.

Looking to spend ~200$ (USA) for a new CPU for that 'board.

 

Suggestions based on what the board will support?

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

For 200$ new:

 

2700

 

Microcenter may have some cheaper 1700 (or derivatives) or 2700 parts.

depending on where you are, microcenter is having a great a sale on a 2700x ($130). Even without that the 2700/2700x can be had for ~$200 on Amazon/eBay.

why no dark mode?

$200 gets you a Ryzen 7 2700 at best, in terms of cores. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

SO I'm going to assume that's good value for money? This is not a gaming box.

Well, the pricing on last gen 8 cores has dropped a lot, the 2700X is $190 on Amazon, the 2700 is $170, and the 1700X is also $170. Of these I think the 2700 offers the best value, but the 2700X is still in your price range. What's the use case?

number crunching in excel and tax code work.

sounds like 8 cores is rather excessive, any cheap Ryzen 5 model will be more than enough for that task.

Probably, but I'm getting the whole system (with the older chip) for 150$ (16GB RAM, 512GB nVME, rx580 etc) so I figure I can splurge on a new CPU.
