I believe you can get Ryzen R5 1400 or R5 1500 for that price

If you are trying to build a PC part by part like this, don't, it is a terrible option.

Often people do this (as is setting a specific budget for each part), meaning they can lose out on better hardware that is more suited for other hardware saving money and can get better 'bang for your buck', so best thing to do is asking the forum for builds posting your full budget.

^ What this guy said. OP should post his budget and his expectations for the total system. Unless all you're doing is replacing cpu+board+RAM in an existing build.
