So basically right now I have a AAHD3-HB (Hibiscus) motherboard and it came with RAM, CPU, Power Supply, and GPU. I upgraded the GPU to gtx 1050 and I noticed that it is bottlenecking. So I am planning on buying
AMD FX 8320e 8-CORE CPU
Crucial 8GB Kit 2x 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz PC3-12800 Desktop Memory RAM uDimm
GIGABYTE 78LMT-USB3 AM3+ micro-ATX Motherboard
I was just wondering if I have to buy new RAM for the motherboard and CPU.
I already have PowerSupply.
(I am not building a PC)

yes. If you buy any cpu either from amd or intel from within 2 years you will need to buy new motherboard and ram. That is unfortunate. But maybe better in the long run.

edit: mainly because of the ddr4 memory. everything newish runs on ddr4 memory now.
