Hey guys.
My (related) specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD A8-5500
Motherboard: F2A85-M
GPU: Powercolor 7870 Myst 2gb ddr3
RAM: 12gb DDR3 @ 799MHz (11-11-12-28)
-------------
So i'm looking to upgrade/downgrade my ram, and I have a choice between the Corsair Vengeance and the Kingston HyperX blu, both 8GB. I'm not even sure that i need it, I just have a gift card to the local Best Buy that's expiring soon, and this is pretty much what they got. So, essentially, what's better? I read that the A8-5500 runs natively on 1866MHz, and i don't know what that means if I get a 1600MHz kit.
I'm fairly new to building PCs, and I don't know much about this area.
Also,
i'm looking to upgrade my motherboard+CPU in the next month. Any ideas for something around $250?
