Just lookup the motherboard you have and find the specifications page. There it'll tell you how much RAM you can have.
Any modern motherboard will run a GPU like that as well. Just take note of whether you're using DDR3 or DDR4 RAM.

I uploaded my specs but the reason why im asking about the ram is because im sick of this fps issue im having and i want it resolved. Im probably going to get a better motherboard that supports intels 2nd to best processor because amd is just too hot.
