My computer is a bit out of date and I would like to upgrade my video card to whatever is compatible with my setup.  I have a Gigabyte Ga-ma785gm-us2h motherboard.Are there any websites that show this? Or could anyone recommend anything?

Is it this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128394 ? If yes then it has PCI-Express 2.0 so you're fine installing any new gpu in it, maybe like ATi 7950 or 7970 depends on your budget really and free space in your case if you have one. P.S. it will close that PCI slot with itself just a note if you have anything in there.

Yep, that psu is more than enough and what about ram it's fine for mining but if you are using computer to play games or to do any other stuff I would recommend to have 8, but 4 is good enough pretty much.
