Hello,

Just like in tittle. Looking for Intel CPU build with DDR3 RAM. Here's my current build.

-CPU: AMD Athlon x4 860K, 3.7GHz Overclock to 4.2GHz,
-GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX460 2GB, Windforce OC,
-PSU: Corsair CX550M,
-Motherboard: ASRock FM2A75M-HD+,
-RAM: Avexir Core 2x8GB 2133MHz, CL11 DDR3 ,
-SSD: ADATA SU800 128GB,
-HDD: Samsung 500GB,
-CPU cooler: SilentiumPC Spartan 3 HE1012,
-Case: CoolerMaster CM Storm Stryker.

Would be nice if motherboard was sized in ATX or EATX.

there's literally no point in building with DDR3 anymore since it's 5 years out of fashion.

best system with DDR3 is an i7-4790k on a Z97 Mainboard
but for that price tag you're better off buying a Ryzen 3600(X) with DDR4 RAM
and current prices it's by far the better deal

One definitely should not spend $350-$400 in order to reuse $40-50 worth of DDR3 when the same amount of money could get a faster combo including new CPU, mainboard, and new DD4 RAM...

The Ryzen 5-3600 is the deal of the decade for folks looking to assemble new fast all-around systems (pretty good at everything!) on a relatively modest budget..
