You're looking for a suitable motherboard for your i5-8400 in a micro-ATX case. Consider a two-slot board that supports M.2 slots and includes HDMI output for good audio quality. Options like the ASUS ROG Strix B550M or MSI MEG 16 would be solid choices.

You're limited to either expensive brand-new boards or unreliable used options. If you manage to locate a B360 board for around $40 on Craigslist or FB Marketplace, that's your top choice (keep spending under $40–$50 per board). Otherwise, consider selling your existing CPU and upgrade to something like a 12100F with a B660M-A Pro socket.
