The maximum your board can handle is 8 gigs so neither of those will work and as for upgrading to windows 7 you have till about oct 26th for that is when windows releases windows 8 and when that happens they work pretty fast to pull and old operating systems off the shelves to force you to buy the newest one.
As for what you can upgrade to gskill, corsair either one will work as long as you only use the max of 8 gigs total.
Yes that video card should work it is pci-e 3.0 but they are backward compatiable with a pci-e 2.0 board.
