[SOLVED] Very specific motherboard

[ScarfWizard]

Is there such a thing as a motherboard with am4 or better socket as well as ddr3 ram? All the one's i've seen have been ddr4. I'd like to be able to upgrade my cpu and board without having to replace all my ram. Thank you!

No. You have to have DDR4 to use Ryzen CPUs.

What do you have now?
The Ryzen 3300X is a very attractive entry point -- https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-3-3300x-3100-cpu-review/2
A B450 MAX motherboard and 8 (2x4GB) or 16 (2x8GB) RAM is the entry point.
