It has gotten to the time where I feel I need to upgrade my CPU into Intel due to the games I play that demand a lot more CPU power than the AMD one that I use provides (Arma series, DayZ standalone). As I do spend the majority of my time on the Arma games it seems like the necessary upgrade for me as it does not utilize the extra cores of the AMD products which render them pretty useless and give the result of near unplayable frame rates.

I was looking at going for an I5 minimum with this budget as I know it performs really well within the Arma series. But the problem that lies here is, I am not sure which to go with and which motherboard to pair it with so this leads me here.

Initial budget is 250 GBP for both the CPU and Motherboard. The plans to overclock are definitely there but not right away so if you're able to add in an aftermarket cooler for that price then that'd be great but not required as it can be gotten at another point when I am confident enough to overclock.
