Solution
The 680 is a dual core (2) with hyperthreading (4 threads), you are on the 1156 platform which supports up to 16GB in a4x4GB config. Problems you might find on DRAM is the 1156 was designed for DDR3 of it's day which used low density memory chips, todays DDR3 has used high density memory chips since around 2011, I'd look for the GSKill NT series of DDR3 value DRAM (check NewEgg) which uses the older low density chips
