I'm going to only be able to choose one for the moment, and cost effectiveness is really the goal here (in other words, I want the best bang for my buck). For RAM, i was thinking of returning the one I have so speed matching isn't an issue. I'm also open to going secondhand for a GPU. I'm using...

Are they compatible? And if so, how compatible?
