Upgrading my Cybertron PC Borg-Q Gaming Desktop

[ApexOso]

I bought the Cybertron PC Borg- Q Gaming Desktop last winter, and it's been amazing so far. I'm a full time student at VCU, and as such this computer gets a lot of heavy use from multitude of programs like Zbrush, Keyshot, and the Adobe Creative Suite CS6. Occasionally I also game, and
have to run this computer on the lowest settings, so I feel I'm not really getting the full experience from my setup. At the moment, everything is stock as it came; but I'm looking to really upgrade it before this coming semester. Currently while working on high poly sculptures in Zbrush and
large illustrator files, I find this computer to be having a very difficult time meeting the demands I'm putting on it. I would like to upgrade the graphics card, and I'm purchasing 3 more 8 gb ddr3 240 pin memory modules to push it to the 36 gb capacity of this PC. having said that, I'm pretty novice when it comes to what will be compatible with my pc, on both space and logistics. As far as RAM goes, can I just add any 8 gb ddr3 240 pin
memory module, or will some cause stress on my system. Also what are a few really solid graphics cards in the 150-300$ range that you would recommend for my system without having to upgrade the power supply. Also if anyone could recommend some 8 gb memory card modules I'd really appreciate it. Below I added the link to the PC I bought from amazon last year.


Current Specs are:

3.80 GHz AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core Processor (Processor Max Turbo Speed: 4.00GHz)

8 GB DDR3 240 pin

1 TB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM, 6 GB/s)

GeForce GT 710 Graphics

Dual-layer DVD±RW drive

7.1 Channel HD Audio

450 watt power supply

Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Realistically the power supply is probably pretty cheap considering it's a prebuilt, it's how things tend to go. It should really be replaced before you try putting any real strain on it. The CPU is 4 years old, and it's paired up with a very low end GPU even for the time the GPU was new.

What are you limited by in terms of programs the most CPU, GPU, Memory? Though realistically you are probably due for a new PSU and GPU, and 1 more 8gb ram. That will most likely give you the best bang for the buck.

List of what you could get, and below is a link to recommendations on PSU to help you decide on what to get.

Opps meant to have a nvidia 1050gtx in there, look up whether you programs will benefit from a Nvidia card more over a Radeon. Some programs tend to favor one brand depending on what your doing.

Thanks for the feedback, so upon doing further research based off your answer I found out that Zbrush runs off RAM mainly. So I think I'm going to proceed with purchasing the 3 additional Memory Modules. I had a question about that though. Currently I'm running a 8gb DDR3 240 pin, and I saw from that link you recommended the G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (which has I believe 288 pins vs my 240 pin, so it's probably not compatible). I plan on keeping the current memory module in the PC already (There's nothing wrong with it) and buying two additional med to high end 8 gb DDR3 memory modules or maybe switching the DDR3 for DDR4. So I guess my question is, What's the difference between DDR4 and DDR3? Also would there be issues with mixing brands of memory modules in my PC, like purchasing 3 G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Memory Modules and placing them in alongside the current memory module? or should I just purchase an additional memory module that's the same as whats in my pc right now and just buy two additional G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 240-Pin DDR3?
This is my top choice right now:

And for the graphics card I read that Adobe CS6 renders smoother on NVIDIA, so I'm going that route I think. Would the 1050gtx be a enough to run battlefield 1 on it's highest setting and most important, is it compatible? (I'm still fairly new to all of this) Also would you be able to provide a link so I know which graphics card your'e referring to? There's so many out there it's hard to understand which one would best suit my graphics needs/ be compatible.
Would this card work with my specs? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MF7EQJZ/ref=psdc_284822_t1_B01M64G435

For the PSU I followed that link you sent and entered in my future specs (the outcome was the same for DDR4 and DDR3 with 4x 8gb memory modules) I'll add a screenshot of that so you can see. PSU are fairly cheap so I figured why not go ahead and replace that while I'm at it. Just double checking, the 400W will be more than enough power for what I need right? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500748811&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=evga%2Bn1%2B80%2B%2B400w&th=1
