I am looking to buy a new processor along with a mobo, after much thought and being told by my older brother that I should not overclock, I decided to follow that advice to minimize the risks.
I want a CPU which will improve my performance just as much as the i5-3570k, except since it's not intended for overclock, I guess it'll be cheaper and a motherboard to run.
I am aware of the i5-3570, but I read that if I'm not gonna buy the 3570k, the 3570 is useless and that I should get a 2500 or a 3470.
Can you please recommend me a CPU and a Mobo under 300 euros, not intended for overclock?

Not planning to overclock though, should I still get teh 3570k?

You dont have to. you dont need Z77 either. You can do with B75 for example for 50euro. The non K 3570 is 20 euros cheaper. So total price for 3570+B75 would be around 235euro.
