Question Choosing a new GPU

[emilymurad74]

I have a motherboard that has ddr3 ram but i want a new graphics card (rx 570 armor oc 4g) but it's ddr5 can i still use it or do i need to look for a ddr3 gpu i have no idea and do i need to look out for other things so it's compatible?

The RAM on your motherboard has nothing to do with the RAM on your GPU. The GPU you want should work just fine with your motherboard. What matters is if you have a PCIe x16 slot, if you do it should work just fine.

System RAM is totally different from the GPU's VRAM. It doesn't matter if your MOBO only supports DDR3 modules, any GPU will work, as long as you have one vacant PCI-Express x16 Slot.

List the Model number/brand of your Motherboard...

Your system ram, and the video card vram do not have to match so you're fine.

If you want to be sure youre getting a good GPU for your system let use know your CPU/MOBO/PSU.

That motherboard only supports up to 95W CPUs, the 8350 is 125W, you'll need an FX 8370E or an FX 8320E if you want to upgrade. If possible I'd suggest getting a whole new motherboard, CPU, and RAM upgrade.

can anyone suggest a motherboard and ram am4+ socket preffered? i have no idea what i'm getting into, i was trying to avoid getting a new motherboard considering i'm afraid of messing up the build since i never built a pc and the motherboard is connected to everything

i can only find the amd fx-8320 where i live, i can't buy from amazon and that's the only place i could find a fx 8370e. but is there a difference between fx 8320 and fx 8320e ?
