What's it for? Primary uses?

seller417 · Jul 6, 2013

you may want get RAM with speeds of 1600 or 1866. High speed RAM increases the effectiveness of the integrated GPU.

everything else looks fine

I would recommend using this memory:
1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory

Memory can be set to X.M.P. Profile 1 (see page 38 of motherboard manual)

its primary use is gaming. not hardcore graphics intensive. things like sc2 and minecraft. (not building for myself). thanks for your help everyone. i chose the ram for color without checking speed. i think i will get the red ripjaws at 1600

With an APU and for gaming will want the fastest DRAM you can get, the APU graphics loves fast DRAM, mobo takes up to 2400 I believe

it takes up to 1866

The link to the mobo shows clearly up to 2400 DRAM
