I am trying to get the CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA880 Gaming Desktop - AMD FX-4300 Quad Core 3.8GHz, AMD 760G Chipset. Its got a NVIDIA GeForce GT720 1GB Video Card. But I belive the recommended Gram is 2GB for the game I am trying to play.

So I am trying to get EVGA GeForce GT 740 4GB GDDR5 for this computer. Will this work? I heard something about "No motherboards support DDR5 as primary RAM". so Do I have to get the EVGA GeForce GT 740 Superclocked Single Slot 4GB DDR3 Graphics Cards instead?
 
Solution
There are so many things wrong with this i'm not sure where to start...

So instead...Are you looking for a prebuilt gaming PC? Give us your budget and we can give you some links to prebuilt computers that are better.

My budget is around $700.
 
EVGA GeForce GT 740 4GB GDDR5
System Requirements: 400 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 20 Amp on the +12 volt rail

Memory Type of a graphics card does not have any mutual relation to system memory type. DDR5 is often used in graphics card memory and does not need to match system type memory.

No, that was not me, but ok. Since that one is out of stock I'm going to go with the other one then.
Thank you again!
