Questions about this item

What type of memory modules must I already have to upgrade the 8GB DDR4 in this Precision 3430?

You need DDR4 modules; the board supports up to 64GB total across its slots.

Will the DisplayPort on the i5-8500's Intel UHD Graphics 630 drive my older 1080p monitor without an adapter?

Yes, the DisplayPort output supports up to 4096 x 2304 so a 1080p screen works directly with a standard cable.

How can I confirm the i5-8500 is reaching its 4.10 GHz turbo frequency under load?

Open Task Manager's Performance tab or a hardware monitor and watch the CPU clock rise to 4.10 GHz during heavy tasks.
