I currently have an outdated build from 3-4 years ago.
Build Specs:
MSI 970 Gaming motherboard
AMD FX 6300 processor
GTX 960

As you can probably tell its starting to struggle. There are problems and cant be fixed with simple plug and play. I am taking a AP Computer Science class at my high school and the program we use to run our codes is very intensive and draws on a heavy amount of memory. I recently upgraded from some 8GB of slow unbranded memory to 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3. Here lies my problem. I want to upgrade my pc but keep the brand new RAM i just invested in. I essentially want to upgrade a system revolving around my new DDR3 ram.

i have a budget of around 300-500$
mainly looking for a motherboard and cpu upgrade with this budget

Open to all suggestions...
