So I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU along with my motherboard and RAM, and I think I'll go for the i5-7500. My question would be, how much better is the 7500 than the 2400? Will I see a big difference in FPS? (I'm going to spend around 200~ euros for a CPU, so if there's any better variants for a similar price, tell me. Also, my GPU is rx 480 4GB, and 8 gigs of ram.)

i5-7500 can drive higher end GPU's without bottlenecking, has stronger cores, better architecture, lower power consumption ect. 2000 CPU mark difference.

While IPC gains have been diminishing in recent Intel CPU generations, there are absolutely noticeable architectural gains between Sandy Bridge (i5 2400) and Skylake/Kaby Lake (i5 7500). Probably a cumulative 20% or so. Plus you have an extra 10+% just based on clock speeds. So I would say minimum 30% increase in theoretical performance. How much this will actually improve FPS will depend on how CPU dependent a given game is though.
