i5 7400, i5 7500, i7 6700, or i7 7700 help

Hey, 
I wanna replace my now unbearably somewhat slow i3-7100, and I want to know what cpu in the list provides the best price to performance ratio and it will also be paired to a gtx 1650 super

Depends what you can get them for. You'd be getting them used, so there's no real definitive price.

The 7400 isn't really an upgrade, and might be more of a downgrade.

The 7700 would be better, however they're generally expensive and you can get a decent Ryzen set up for about the same price.

Should I just save up and buy a Ryzen 3 3rd gen and pair it with the 1650s?

I think that would be the better move, as you can easily just upgrade your cpu down the line into a zen 3 CPU. Make sure you buy a good MoBo tho cause for ryzen that stuff is really gonna come in handy.

Is it true that I need high speed ram for the ryzen cpu's? and do you have a recommendation for a motherboard that is somewhat cheap but performs well and doesn't need a bios update?

you see thats the thing people keep saying that its REALLY important to get the fastest ram possible but honestly from my experience as long as you have good cas latency ram, you could just get a 2800Mhz stick and overclock it since its just at the click of a button. 

Now when it comes to the motherboard im not too familiar with 500 series boards but usually the good ones dont come cheap. If ur fine with the lack of features, a B550 from asrock or really any manufacturer should be fine.

Yes. A 3300x is about on par or better than the 7700k, and will probably be cheaper.
