Windows 10: Can i run windows 10 smoothly with a i7 3770, OEM mothe board and 16 gb of ram?

I want to know if I can run windows 10 or any game smoothly with a OEM motherboard, i7 3770 and 16 gb of ram.

:)

 

16 GB RAM Installed (15,9 GB Usabble)

I bought a new desktop computer with an i7 4790 and 16 BG RAM, but the computer itself uses just 15,9 gb ram.

How can i fix this?

 

i7 3770(Non K) vs R5 1600 Gaming

I originally wanted to buy an i7 8700(non K), but the non availability of cheaper non overclocking motherboards drove me towards Ryzen5

My current choices are i7 3770, or go Ryzen 5 or Wait for Non overclocking motherboards to appear for i7 8700

So, between R5 1600 and i7 3770 which one of them is better for gaming?

Money is not an issue, i just wanted to know that am not necessarily degrading if i choose R5 1600 over i7 3770 in games, i asked cause some of my friends said that Ryzen is not really good for gaming, and its targeted towards workstations and am better off with an i7 3770. Also i do play a lot of CPU intensive simulation/war multiplayer games like Total War, City Skylines, Civilization, Planet side 2, Script Heavy Skyrim, PCSX2 (PS2 Emulator) and some older games that relay on strong single core performance.

I currently have an i3 2120 and was thinking about dropping an i7 3770 but i would like to know how Ryzen 5 1600 will perform in games compared to i7 3770.

my current system specs

• 1060 6GB
• i3 2120
• 512 GB SSD
• 500W Seasonic PSU
• 16 GB DDR4 Ram

 

add RAM to board

I have an Asus TUF Z 390 Plus Gaming WIFI board with one stick of ram. It is a Corsair 8 GB DDR4 -2400 stick.
I had it built and should have gotten 16 GB for a VM.
Can I buy the same stick and install it in a second channel, boot up and go or is there more to it than that?
It us still warranted so would this void it if I did this myself. My hardware knowledge is obviously limited. I have placed RAM in older machines but it came in pairs so was easier.
I can bring it to the builder but it is difficult for me.
Any suggestions?
