Please help me I have a little problem ..
My motherboard when I scan it with crucial.scan pulls out this ram (Crucial 2GB DDR3-1600MHz)
I did search a little and my motherboard can get up to 800 / 1066mhz SDRAM ...
But the ram that I have on my pc is 2GB 1333mhz and 1GB 1333 Mhz = 3GB RAM ... I'm confused a bit ...(I can have 8GB of ram on my motherboard (2-2-2-2)
I did waste my money on ram 1 time.. I don't want to do that again (70$ Random Ram).. (Hopefully I found a friend and I did sell the ram)
My motherboard is called M480 or MG43M. Please help me... I need to upgrade my pc..I want to upgrade it to 8GB of ram..
And another problem that I have is the card graphic.. I don't know what card graphic to select..
My motherboard have:
PCI Express® 2.0 x16 slot, PCI Express® 2.0 x1 slot
Two PCI v2.3 (5 V) slots, Parallel/Serial port connector (optional)
Does my motherboard supports any good card graphic? (I don't really care if the card is 4-6 years old..I just want to have a card graphic so I can at least play normal games even on low-normal settings..
Now I play
Minecraft:40 FPS on Survival World - 60+ on flat
League of Legends:50 on first 5 minutes - when teamfights starts 20 FPS (ON VERY LOW)
CS:GO at 20-25 FPS...<When I was playing> (After new patch I can't play anymore.. I am on the screen I can change settings and stuff but when I click to play with bots for test it goes to full loading and then I hear the a sound of air and I have just a black screen)

Any graphics card will work. Just plug it into the first pcie slot. Get one that'll run off of pcie (meaning it doesn't require extra power connectors) unless you have a PSU that has the necessary connectors.

Get 8GB (2x4GB) for dual channel. If the ram rated speed is higher than what you're motherboard supports its ok. The ram will just run at the maximum supported speed.

Get whatever ends up being cheapest a long as it is rated for the maximum speed your motherboard can handle or higher. Also be aware of the generation of ram that your motherboard works with. Don't get ddr3 if your system uses ddr2 for example.

All graphics cards use PCIe. The major difference is whether or not it needs external power to run.
But just as a forewarning, while its possible you'll see improved performance with a GPU, depending on what CPU you have you may still be limited in FPS.
When getting RAM always buy in kits so that the sticks are guaranteed to have the same capacity, speed and timings.

For a budget I would recommend a 1050 Ti. One of the cheaper ones that usually have a single fan because they don't require external power to run.
It'll cost around $120 - $150 USD
And getting a two stick 8GB kit of DDR3 RAM should be fairly cheap. As long as it runs at a speed of 1066mhz or greater so that you can have the sticks running at 1066mhz which is the fastest your motherboard supports. Its ok of they are rated to run faster than 1066 if that ends up being the cheaper option because you can hold on to them if you ever upgrade your system to better hardware that still uses DDR3 and then utilize the faster speed.
