The best FM2+ CPU to my knowledge is the AMD A10-7850K which is an APU but can be used with a dedicated GPU. It has 4 cores and 4 threads and packs a punch. It comes with its own (admittedly bad) heat sink and fan in the box. The problem with FM2+ at this point is there's really no upgrade path to speak of, so I would just get a LGA 1151 board and a G4560 or if you really want to stick to the red team, an AM4 board and Ryzen 5 or wait for Ryzen 3 when it comes out.

If limited by the 65watts of your motherboard your best option would the the X4 845, the best fm2+ CPU rated at 65 watts. If you can get a higher rated CPU your best CPU would be the x4 880k. All these CPU's are below $100.

The board is the highest ranked B350 mb at Newegg and 2 overall. The cpu comes with a heatsink. That will save you some money. You might be able to save a little more on the mb and memory, but i would not recommend doing so. So if you could afford it this would be the setup to get. Also easy to upgrade this one in the future.
Personally if i was to get a Ryzen setup i would go a bit more expensive on the cpu and get this.

Though it may be out of your budget.

That is computer memory. All computers use it. But all computers do not use the same memory.
Well if you already have ddr4 memory maybe not. However Ryzen motherboards are extremely finicky when it comes to memory. So really what you need to do is go to the manufacturers website and find the board you are interested in. Once on the manufactures page click on support, find memory support, then look at the serial numbers and see if they are the same as the memory you are interested in.
The memory i linked is compatible with that setup.
