So here is the run down. I have this 3-4 year old PC that was starting to run slow. I upgraded the graphics card to a way better one and it ran a bit better. I figured out the reason it didn't run a lot better is because the CPU is old and can't compute fast enough. My motherboard is too old to support a Intel Core i5-8400. Basically, I have to buy a new motherboard or I can't upgrade. The thing is your home boy is in college and needs to save. I have DDR3 ram and can't afford a new set of DDR4. My question to you guys is what motherboard supports DDR3 ram, 2 graphic card slots, can run a Intel Core i5-8400, and fit the specs below. I tried PC Picker and it didn't have certain parts and things like that. Any feedback is EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!! Thanks so much :))) More then happy to answer questions because I'm clueless

From the Intel 6th Gen onwards, no CPU is compatible with DDR3. Same for Ryzen.
Also, you cannot SLI a R7 260x and a GTX 1050Ti if that is what you want to do.
