Compatible CPUs can be found here: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/P5G41T-M%20LX3/HelpDesk_CPU/

The Core 2 Quads are the most capable CPUs for that motherboard, but can be hard to find. Also, by today's standards, they are lacking in performance.

The maximum amount of supported memory is 8GB. For best performance, two matching, compatible 4GB memory sticks should be used.

Recommended (tested) memory on the QVL can be found here:

The GPU "best" is based on your budget.

Honestly, you would be better off saving your money and spending it on a MUCH more modern system.

I doubt the single 8GB memory stick will work at all.Try it and see.
