The ram upgrading sounds a bit weird to me. 2gb + 8gb = 10?? That motherboard uses dual channel memory architecture. Wich means if you use 1 or 3 slots, the memory speed will drastically decrease. I suggest you buy 8gb ddr3 ram and replace it with the 2gb. Another thing is that the modules have to be exactly the same in order to work correctly with each other. if you buy that extra 8gb, i assume you buy 2 sticks from 4gb. And those 2 sticks from 4gb will not work with the 2gb. I dont know the exact model numbers from the module(s) you have and the module(s) you're going to buy. Also i dont think you will be able to play BF4 , Watch Dogs and Far cry 4 with an hd 6670. That graphic's card is pretty old, so i suggest you upgrade the power supply to a 550-750 watt (and remember to look for the 80+ certified logo) and then get a better graphic's card. The motherboard and CPU are great though, i use the fx-8320 too, and it works perfect in games like BF4 , Guild Wars 2, Far Cry 3, etc.

i recently had purchased 2 gb which is 1333mhz if i pair it with 1*8 gb 1333mhz ram will it work to give me 10 gb?

No. Speed is just one of many factors you have to look at. The modules have to be exactly the same in order to work with each other, otherwise the ram speed will slow down , blue screens , etc. My suggestion would be to buy another 3 of those 2gb sticks, so you have 8GB in total. And trust me, there are no games out there that realy need more then 8GB. 10GB would perform exactly the same to the 8GB.

With a build like that, you are looking at getting maybe 15fps on low settings.

Since price range and availability is completely different here in India...be sure to add 10%-15% more for the price u propose if u look in international shopping websites other than Indian based!...@AngelEyes_666
