-I'm going to buy new graphic card and RAM now my questions are...



Q1. Do I need the same brand and MHz for my ram to work normally?

Q2. Are 2Gb of rams are enough for me to play modern games like Black Ops or Crysis 2?

Q3. Is Geforce 9500gt 1gb pci-e good for gaming? Or can you recommend better GPU? (My budget is only $100.)

Q4. I have a psu that has a name of Orion? Is it branded or not? Is it stable? pic is below

Check your motherboard's qualified vendors list (QVL) to find compatible memory. It should be on their website, on the page for your motherboard. I'd be happy to look it up if you can provide the manufacturer and model number.



A2: For some modern games, 2GB is probably sufficient, but your best bet is to get a matched 2 x 2GB set for a total of 4GB. That'll be enough for just about any current game on the market, if not all. 4GB is cheap these days.



A3: The GeForce 9500GT is very old. For $100, you could get a GT 440 that uses faster GDDR5 memory. Or, if you can stretch your budget just a little bit, you can get a GTS 450 for $109-129, or even a GTX 550 Ti for $115 (after rebate). I've included a link to the GTX 550 Ti in Source(s) below.



A4: I have no idea if the Orion power supply is good or not; however, at 500W, it's just barely going to be enough to power a video card like the GTX 550 Ti. I recommend getting a 650-750W unit from Corsair. Links in Source(s). Using an insufficient power supply is risky, as you can fry your entire system if it fails badly. Best case in that event, you need to replace the power supply anyway.
