Your RAM, aka "memory" is what the sticks are that you insert into your motherboard near your cpu.
All graphics cards have their own memory, which is not dependent on the motherboard. If you are using ddr2 memory, it is still okay to use a graphics card that uses its own ddr3 or even GDDR5.

I have a core 2 quad q6600 that can run with that gt 730 pretty well. I...

Why do you need a new PSU? What is your budget for these parts?

Also, please find which pci lanes your motherboard has or just tell us what motherboard you have and we can answer your question about the gpu better.

Get a corsair cx 500 for your psu

For your graphic card, a gt 730 64 bit is the card you should get if you are going to try to play any games. This would require a raise in your budget though, but it may be worth a little wait.

I have a core 2 quad q6600 that can run with that gt 730 pretty well. I would advise you to Google benchmarks for games that you like and see what kind of settings and what fps you get with a gt 730. From there, see if you want to save more to get a better card or if you don't need to save up for even a gt 730.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_7tegJ9apI

You won't have a bottlenecking issue for low-end graphics cards like these.

I hope you are using 720p or lower resolution with these kinds of graphics cards.

Okay then thank you, that's great help, I'll be certain to get that, and the psu I will get too, I might be able to scrape around for it, I will be using a monitor that supports 1080p but I can lower the resolution no problem :)
