The GPU will work. The RAM youre taking about is DDR4, you need DDR3 ram for that system. That being said, 8 GB is more than enough for most tasks.

Oh thank you! , and as well about the ram , can 16gb of any ddr3 ram work for my system?

Your GPU will work fine and you have more than enough power, however that ram is DDR4 and you need DDR3, something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568

In theory you could use both, although it's recommended to use identical sticks. Do you actually need 16gb though? 8 is usually enough for modern games.
