    Able to support 8gig RAM?

    DDR3 Memory : 4GB (2X2GB) DDR3-1333 PC3-10666
    Processor : Intel Celeron Dual-Core E3300 2.5GHz 800MHz 1MB LGA775
    CPU Cooling Fan : Original Factory Cooling Fan and Heatsink
    Hard Drive : 1TB Hitachi 7200RPM SATA-3 UDMA 300 32MB Cache
    Video Card : HD Onboard 3D graphics SVGA (HDMI+ DVI only if listed with board)
    DVD Recorder : LG 22X DVD+/-RW SATA

    Will that be able to have 4 more gigs of RAM added without overkilling the motherboard? Also how much is this build worth?

    Figured out it can support 8gigs. What else can I upgrade with this mobo?

    Yes, it supports up to 8 gigs of DDR3 800, 1066, and 1333.

    With that motherboard you could upgrade to a dedicated graphics card, but spending much money on a computer with an outdated processor and processor socket is not recommended. I would not go any further than getting a 550ti, as it is only about $100, so it wouldn't be too much.

    Gaming performance will suffer a little bit from the older processor, but shouldn't be too bad. Remember there is only 2 spaces for RAM, so go with 2 X 4 gigs.

    I would price this at around $200-$250.
