New Ram and Graphics Card

[imsmitzy]

Hello, I am looking for new ram sticks and a graphics card for gaming...I normally like to play Rocket League and World of Warcraft...I used to have a gtx 650 and would run wow and rocket league fine but not top notch. I also have 8GB currently in the computer, but only 2.97GB usable, read all along the internet and couldnt find a solution after trying dozens of suggestions, so a replacements are going to happen.

I need opinions on the approach I am going to take on my computer.

Manufacturer: MSI
Model: FM2-A55M-E33(MS-7721)
CPU: AMD A10-6800K APU with Radeon HD Graphics.
Operating System: Windows 10 x64 bit
Power Supply: corsair VS650
I was thinking about getting the Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1050 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E and x2 8GB Ram sticks.

My Questions:

Will the GTX 1050 4GB be compatible and work fine with my computer?

What specific 8GB Ram sticks do I need to get? Because I'm not very clever when it comes to slot numbers and fittings.

Thankyou

A10-6800K supported memory with no overclock is DDR3-2133MHz. You should use a single kit matched pair.

Thankyou for answering. Unfortunately the site is US, I live in the UK. Are there any other alternative Ram sticks that would work? I was currently looking at these or are the aries the best solution?

Also the Graphics card I plan to get is https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01MG15JZS/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1488830585&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=1050%2Bgtx%2B4gb&th=1&psc=1

Since it is PCI-E, it should be fine right?

The GTX 1050 would be compatible. As far as usable ram is concerned, I would check bios settings, for your integrated graphics. Your APU uses system memory, for graphics memory.

So buying more Ram as I'm currently on 8gb but 2.97 usable...Getting 16gb ram will restrict me using it all or? What sort of options am I changing or looking for in the bios?

 

[logainofhades]

You are probably not seeing all your ram, because the IGP is using some of it too. Consult your motherboard manual. It should have bios options listed, and what they are for. You absolutely sure you are using 64bit windows?

 

[imsmitzy]

Yes, I am certain I am using the x64. I am at the moment only using my on board graphics, that being said. When I get my gtx 1050, is their a way to disable my onboard graphics therefore refusing it to reserve ram for its own personal use?

By the way, can anyone confirm that the 'HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8GB) 1866 MHZ DDR3 CL10 DIMM Memory Module Kit - Red' is compatible for my computer?

 

[logainofhades]

That ram would be compatible. The onboard graphics should disable, when you install the GPU. If not, it can be disabled via bios.

Thankyou, will report back when I have the final result, thankyou all.
