For new RAM get a matched set of 2x4GB. The system will use what it need for graphics. Also you'll have to be aware of the length of your card. I am guessing you have a small case since you have a micro ATX board?
I will reiterate what stormy13 said about the PSU, you'll need a larger one I suspect and of good quality, Corsair, Seasonic, or Antec make good ones.
