For that same price you cant get the rysen r5 1600 with 2 extra cores and it performs same as i5s in gaming and better in productivity .Also wait for the coffeelake lineups releasing on oct 5 .those i5 starts at 190$ with 6cores and it performs 115 better than labylake in single thread based on the benchmarks leaked .so wait and decide

The Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor and MSI - B250 PC MATE ATX LGA1151 Motherboard are not compatible. If you really recommend the ryzen what motherboard will be best suited for it at around the same price?
