Which is the best ram for my specs

Amd A10-5800K
ASUS F2A85M-LE mobo

the motherboard supports 1886mhz ram without overclocking
and best ram frequency Amd A10-5800K is 1866mhz

so will Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R)
run in 1866mhz by default because i will be using only the integrated graphics and won't crossfire it with any other card

if this is not good can anyone please give some other suggestions

thanks in advance

No, you will need to go into bios and change the ram to the correct speed. If your using 1866 Mhz it will take all of 20 seconds, while your their make sure the case fan speeds are set up properly.

If you go for 2133 MHz you will notice the different in games and other GPU intensive tasks BUT it may involve higher voltages for GPU and CPU and their is some chance your motherboard wont manage that speed. Although i doubt that one would have any issues at all. I had a bitch of a time getting my 5800k to be completely stable at 2133 and at lowish voltage. Having said that my motherboard automatically adjusted voltage for me at different ram speeds and I could have just left it alone.

Your right , its not a huge difference, but the cost of 2133MHz ram may only be a few dollars (or nothing), depending on whats on sale. I thought it was worth mentioning that it will make a difference that is possible to notice, unlike on a discreet video cards setup. On my media PC I put it at 2133 MHz cause i could rather than any real need BUT I did certainly notice a difference in the one game i tried out of curiosity, Skyrim. If hes not gaming, it may not be be worth the extra time time to set it up optimally or the heat/noise/electricity of changing ram speed with stock mobo settings. If he is gaming on a very low budget, then 2133MHz will get him previous FPS that might make the difference between playable and not playable. At the very least he should make sure he gets 1866mhz.
