[52smooth]

What is the max memory that can go in this system? one spec shows 8gb, one shows 32gb. Also i want to put a  MSi Computer Video Card (GTX 1050 TI 4G OC) and 450 power supply any feed back would help.   Thanks

Crucial memory states and guarantees that 32GB is the max installed memory for the PC's motherboard.

Use the how to choose a discrete video card sticky in the upgrade section. See the following link.

There is a description, including an image,  of how to measure to see if a card you are looking at will fit.

Use a modular PSU to keep the cables at a minimum. The Corsair Builder series is a good choice for that.

See the following sticky to see how to choose a PSU. NewEgg.com PSU selection.

An ATX PSU will fit in yours. The PSU you choose needs to have a six-pin PCIe power connector to power the video card.

OK.

I still suggest installing a PSU that has the PCIe connectors. If you want to install something better in the future you won't have to worry about the PSU.
