I currently have 4gb of DDR2 ram, and an ATI Radeon 4650 HD, and I wanted to know if i can upgrade it to 8gb DDR3 ram or stick with DDR2, and also, to what GPU can I get the motherboard to.

I have a 2.33 GHZ Quad Core, and my power supply is a Micronics 230W. I play games such as the AC series, Tomb Raider amongst others, high motion games.

Also, I want to know if i will need to upgrade my power source

no that motherboard does not support ddr3, it only supports ddr2. it has support for 8gb of ddr2. and it has PCI Express 1.1 so it SHOULD be able to accept the latest video cards. (it should accept them, some motherboards don't)

and the best cpu you can get is the q9650.

and as for your power supply you will need to upgrade it if you want to get a better video card.
