Since your desired setup is on an AM4 platform, opting for an AM4 CPU such as the 200GE and using a B450 board with DDR4 RAM will help you reuse the same components for your preferred system. This approach can reduce costs while still delivering a high-performance build.
In a year you'll also need to upgrade the CPU, motherboard, and RAM more than necessary. With the i5 2500 you must use a compatible motherboard, but your current one isn't suitable. You'll invest 30-60$ on a new board, which only lets you reuse the existing RAM. A card like RX 480 will likely be hindered by this processor—it's already too slow. Spend a little more and you won't need to do it again in 1-2 years.
You're losing your funds now. That amount could be better spent on the planned project soon.
Despite the passage of time, Lga 1155 remains available for purchase. You previously sought guidance about a 2400, but your main interest was simply confirming it’s a solid investment. If this aligns with your goals, proceed with the purchase.

Also me, the i5 2400 is more energy-efficient than the i5 3470. The motherboards for the 2400 cost as much as a basic AM4 board with an LGA socket, but there’s no upgrade option. With AM4, you get a full range of CPUs that outperform the 2400. Also, he doesn’t want to hear anything further.
