I´d like to purchase 16 GB of RAM and a better video card for this motherboard. What features do I have to select for the search?

Beware of this motherboard. I have had to return 2 of them to Amazon with various problems which a majority of Asus Tech Support did not know about or didn't care. Originally the board shipped with Bios 0604 and advised to upgrade the Bios to 2012 if you are using the i5 4690K processor. He also indicated the i5 4690K will work properly with bios 1008 but 2012 is the one to use.

This depends are you looking to build a gaming or just a good personal use rig

For the RAM consult the compatibility reference for this motherboard on ASUS site. You have a choice for 1600MHz - 2400MHz speed for the RAM. The faster the DDR3 speed you know the faster is the response. For the Video card PCIe 2.0x is the interface as you know. Go with a 2GB memory card if you plan to do gaming or some media editing. Otherwise the video built into the Intel processor is good enough. It purchased AMD R8 270x 2GB card and the system is simply very good in performance.

You really dont need 16 gb of ram unless youre doing photo editing or something of that sorts ... but like previously stated it depends on what you want to build it for

I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI/ with this one, and seems to work fine this far. However, with my motherboard, http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ , it makes it impossible for you to install RAM in DDR3_4 slot (the one closer to CPU socket). Not a big deal for me, as I just added two 8GB modules for the 16GB I wanted, but is something you need to bear in mind (it looks like your board has more space there, but I am not sure). Also, you should consider this CPU instead: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-AD785KXBJABOX-3-7-Socket/dp/B00H7Z7YMI/ (I have been considering to sell mine CPU + motherboard to buy this one, and another motherboard that supports FM2+ socket).

Best way to find out is to go to the crucial Web site and use their system scanner it will tell you exactly what ram will work.

It has 2 ram slots. Make sure you get compatible ram though. It's not well listed.

This motherboard has a PCI-Express X16 slot which will support just about any modern Video Card. If you want to spend $100 or less a GeForce GT630 or GT640 Video card would be a very good choice. You can spend $200 to $300 for Video Cards with higher performance, but a GeForce GT640 with 1 GB of memory should work OK.

Denpends on the motherboard and the way you mount the heatsink and fans.. if your going for 16GB ram that is. If is just 8gb it should work without much of a problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.

Yes. Great little motherboard. Of course, use your due diligence to insure you have the right power supply, RAM, etc.

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

First check the documentation for the motherboard and what it supports, because you can fry the board if you do not put in the right RAM

Long story short: you shouldn't, I highly recommend to use 4X4GB for this motherboard, this ram memories aren't for the specs it have.

No. Go to asus web. I found it only have 2memory slots. Max memory is 16 gb. I was ready to order but I am looking for a better mobo for this price, also I can expand memory in future.

I have the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme and the Corsair Dominator DDR3 2400 MHz was not listed either. I called product support at ASUS and they told me it was good to go. I installed 64GB and have not had one problem with it. It is amazing and lighting fast. Anyway, call the product support for the motherboard manufacturer and they can tell you exactly; the spec sheets with board are printed sometimes prior to new memory chips becoming available. Let me know if this helps, . . . and have fun with the system you're building once you get it together.

The motherboard on this laptop can only support 8GB of ram at the max, I currently have 8GB in my laptop at this moment

Yes it is! There's 4GB on the motherboard, and 4GB or 1 SODIMM that's upgradeable, so you can get up to 12GB (4GB + 1x8GB) 1600MHz MAX. Hope this helps, thanks! -XOTIC PC

Do you mean what motherboards? The ram is DDR3 so do a search for motherboard that are DDR3 compatible Walla.Hi5 Happy computing!
