I'm currently trying to upgrade my outdated CPU and i have 1x 8gb kingston ddr3 ram sticks and was thinking of buying a AMD Ryzen 5 2600x. Can i get some suggestions on what to pick up as a motherboard and ram? My budget is around 100-150. Ty

You'd need to raise the budget:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock - B450 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Patriot - Viper 4 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $349.97
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

DDR3 ram is not compatible. DDR4 is required. You could knock off up to $15 with a micro ATX motherboard.
