run this it will tell you the motherboard make and model under the "mainboard" tab
https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
then go to the manufacturer's website and look at the max ram capacity for it
if you mean vram, then sorry to say your setup is not strong enough for anything better than a gtx 1050 ti
if you want any of the powerful cards that have 8gb of vram its time for a complete setup rebuild as an a10 is entry level
What other info do you need im not a tech head but here goes Amd A 10 7800 quad core 16gb ram 4gb dedicated R7 250 graphics 300w PSU what would ve the best graphics card to pair with this setup intend upgrading PSU to 550w looking to upgrade graphics to 8gb

As stated by Maxalge, the 300W PSU will limit you to the GTX 1050 Ti as the best card for that system. And probably the best pairing for the APU as well, if bottleneck is an issue with you.

If you upgrade the PSU, you can go with more gfc card, but the CPU might become the bottleneck then. The GTX 1060 would be the next step up.

yup max gpu is a gtx 1050 ti
pointless upgrading the power supply, as anything better gpu wise would be wasted because the a10 is so weak
get the gtx 1050 ti, make sure it is a version that runs on the power of the pcie slot alone
save the rest of your money for a rebuild, the platform is entry level and cannot handle powerful gpu's

Pretty much Plug & Play. Put the card in the slot, move the video cable over to the card, and boot to the desktop. Win may default to low-rez gfx, but no big deal; it's just temporary and probably can be changed by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing 'display settings' if it bothers you. Pop in the driver disk that comes with the card and install the driver*. When the driver package is finished installing, you should be back at your normal rez desktop.
*Latest drivers can be found at the Nvidia website if you want the latest and greatest.
