The RAM on your motherboard is separate from the RAM on your GPU. The GPU's RAM can only be utilised by the GPU, hence GDDR5 compatibility is not a concern for any other component in your system; you only have to consider if your motherboard supports PCI-Express x16 (the GPU's slot) or not, and in your case it does. :)

First of all, please may I ask what is your budget? How much are you willing to spend? Also do you have DDR3 RAM in your current system, or are you using DDR2? (Your motherboard supports both.) Is your hard drive or optical disc drive using IDE or SATA by the way, or are you using any IDE connectors? Finally are you using any of the PCI slots in your motherboard?

If you answer the above, you could potentially purchase a new motherboard to switch over to Intel, purchase an Intel CPU and a decent GPU too. That is if all that can be done within your set budget. That way you could upgrade to a more modern system.

Of course you're not obliged to, but you can upgrade if you desire.

All the best. :)
