CPU is good and as @MonsieurX already said - the 212 EVO should be good.

No, it was suggested by @Coseniath but yeah he wrote it cost 209$ - a brand new one, what you're looking at is a used CPU - what happened is that they ran out of brand new CPUs and the only choice you've got left is a 2nd handed one - not a wise choice IMO - looks like you've missed the train.

Just get the CPU I've recommended you before 4460 for 172 EUR https://www.amazon.de/Intel-BX80646I54460-Prozessor/dp/B00JIJUBAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471471675&sr=8-1&keywords=i5+4660

4460 would be even better, the problem is... I remember that I recommended the i5 3550 cause of his motherboard.

I think it was LGA1155 socket so it was only compatible to Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge.

But, you are right, I checked and @farhat missed the train :(.

Although there are some options at the 250+ euro, I think it will be better to go for a new motherboard + CPU (and maybe, + RAM).

Yep, forgot that he's using Sandy, so unless he's willing to risk and buy 2nd handed CPU I'd rather spend more and buy brand new.

Any H81 MOBO will do, preferred by Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock or EVGA, the cheaper the better

Micro ATX boards cost about 40EUR while full ATX cost about 70EUR - those + 4460 CPU will be under 300EUR so choose whatever you want to - full ATX boards usually more comfortable to build and clean.

Sorry for the delay, I was painting the house and it was kinda difficult to use a PC. :P

I think one of the best (if not the best) H81 mobo is MSI H81M-E34.

Tom's Hardware Best Motherboards, MSI H81M-E34 Overview and H81 mobos conclusion.
