I'm getting ready to upgrade my PC because my CPU and motherboard have failed. I currently own a GeForce 1650 Super and have 16 GB of RAM. I'm wondering what the best CPU would be in terms of price and performance, especially with a budget of around €150. I'm not very familiar with PC building, so I want to make this upgrade in increments.

If you're aiming for a good price/performance ratio, I'd recommend the Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X paired with a compatible AM4 motherboard. It should fit your budget nicely! Just keep in mind that your GeForce 1650 Super might start bottlenecking the performance once you upgrade your CPU.
Oh, and make sure that whatever CPU you decide on works well with your current RAM setup, which I believe is 2 sticks of 8 GB DDR4. That'll help keep everything running smoothly!
Before you jump into buying a new CPU, make sure to check on your RAM configuration since that can affect your choices. Also, if your graphics card is quite old, consider if you might need to update it eventually for better performance!
