Hello everyone, I am really bad with this stuff so I would like some help. I'm looking to upgrade my computer but I'm scared that something won't fit so I am kindly asking for some help. Can this motherboard support the PSU, RAM and Graphics card that I'm about to show you?

Thank you, just one more question. Do both sockets support 1600 or just one? Because here it says:

Supports the following:
PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600)

Both sockets will work with either 1333 or 1600, just be sure to get the same type for each. Best bet is to buy 2x4gb set in either 1333 or 1600.

I see.. But I just wanted to buy 1 of 8GB because I already have 1 of 4GB that way I'll have 12GB of RAM which is enough for me. That won't be a problem I assume? I am really thankful for your help.

(At the moment I have 6GB of RAM, 1 of 4GB and 1 of 2GB so I wanted to remove the one of 2GB and add 1 of 8GB.)

I think it won't work as a dual channel so it won't be much increase in performance.

Uh, you mean that if I buy the 8GB one it won't increase it much? Instead I should buy another 4GB one so I have 8GB RAM and it would be better?

As I said I'm not sure, you should probably wait for a mod or an expert to answer because I don't understand RAM very much.

Using a 4 and an 8 together does not offer any upgrade. While you will have 12gb, that configuration does not "play well" together. Also, you would need to match both the speed and CAS timings of the 4mb ram you intend to keep to get a usable 12gb. Personally, I trhink you would be better off to get a matched set of 4gb sticks at 1600 mhz. Your m/b will not allow you to tweak any settings (hp's bios is locked), so to get the best value and performance, a matched pair of 4gb sticks is the best option.
