Have one to sell? Sell it yourself

Do this support up to 16 GB Ram?

Thanks in advance

It probably will support 16GB of RAM, but looking at the specs you have you won't need it, and get a 7850

The GPU would be fine and you can put 2 8GB sticks of ram in that motherboard.  You wouldn't need that much ram though.

[Langdon]

Probably supports 16GB but 8 is more  than enough.

I'd get a 7850 (or 7870 if you can find one similarly priced) instead of the 650 Ti though, better performance for the same price.

Whoa either I'm blind and don't see a mention of psu in the OP and people are just telling him to get cards without knowing what he has?!?!?!

 

Scary times in LTT.

 

Yes your computer can run a 650ti boost but please look for a 7850 as it is faster and same price. Also YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE that your power supply has the connectors you need for the card and has enough watts/amps/volts. Most stock power supplies will have enough power these days but you have to double check. You will want 300+ watts and atleast 20amps in total for your 12v rails.

Wait just a damn minute!!

What "750W ATX 12v" power supply is this?? What you said gives ZERO information about the power supply.

About 90% of all power supplies are ATX, all must have at least one +12V rail, majority of power supplies use 120mm or 140mm cooling fans...and...

Do you have a low quality, over rated, Chinese sweatshop 750W...or something reliable like a Corsair HX750 750W...or even like a Seasonic made 750W??
