I have a MSI MS-7778 HP Jasmine motherboard. I am getting a new video card a R7 370 and a new 600 watt power supply. My question is can i upgrade my memory from 8gb, to either 16 gb or 32gb( i have 8gb now )? Is it worth my while? ..Thanks (PC3-12800 DDR3-1600)

according to HP your mobo supports even 8gb dimms therefore it can even accept 32gb of ram in total

a system based on such mobo is mostly focused on basic tasks or light gaming. if you have an A10 or even an A8 you will be fine. however with an A4 you will run into extensive bottlenecking issues with R7 370. 8gb of ram is still plenty for gaming even with the newer titles. more ram is always welcome though. before you proceed in purchasing anything mind the form factor of your tower in order to avoid any compatability issues. you would need an atx form factor tower for that gpu/psu. for psu selection refer to out tier list here

I personally prefer 16 GB of RAM. If you are using most of your RAM currently, then I recommend you do upgrade. There is really no need to upgrade to 32 GB, unless you really need that much RAM.
