Here is a link to my current build :

My PC is unable to run some games such as Assassins Creed Origins; because of my weak CPU.
I have a budget around 350 dollars, and do not want to change ram from ddr3 because i received it as a gift.
I would like to be able to run titles such as Assassins Creed Origins, Kingdom Come Deliverance, etc.

Thanks!

If you want to keep your current RAM but need a CPU to run those games your going to want to look at a 1150 socket Intel Haswell/Devils Canyon CPU such as the i7-4790(K) and a compatible motherboard, for your budget you should be able to get both used.

For $350 though you could get newer tech.

Memory for CPU is DDR3-2133MHz.

Using multiple kits of memory is a bad idea. I suggest selling your current memory on eBay.

Your current CPU uses 1866MHz memory. Using multiple kits of memory, not knowing what your current memory runs at, using too slow a speed memory, not knowing how to set memory clock, and timings in BIOS all contribute to poor performance.
