Hello everyone!
Im gonna upragde my PC so I need your help guys what to do/not to do.
My currently PC is:
GIGABYTE F2A55M-DS2
AMD A6 5400k
4GB ddr3 1333mhz RAM
HP L2208w 1680x1050 60hz monitor

The most important thing is, I want to play league of legends on full graph on max resolution, without any laggs, smooth gameplay, still 60 fps.

Actually now I have to play on 1366x768 resolution, with max settings, with Little skipping.

But of course Im wanna play other games like bioshock3, bf3, maybe bf4,cod ghosts etc. But as I sad the most important is the league of legends.

So Im thinking about to buy ,
- AMD A10 6800K x4 4,1ghz
- Kingston Hyperx Predator 2x4GB 2133mhz

Tell me what is your opinion about this. Will it runs these games?
Thank you!
Adrian.

It's possible. The board will (possibly) support 2400 RAM for overclocking, but that isn't guaranteed. It actually doesn't say anything about 2133mhz, which is kind of weird. It's safe to assume, though, that it will support 1866 without any problems. Anything beyond that is a shot in the dark, though.
(I believe it's the same with processors.)

EDIT: A lot of people consider 1866 as the "minimum" for APUs. 2133 is considered "optimal" because anything after that is when the diminishing returns...

Looks good, but your mobo doesn't say, for sure, if it'll handle 2133 RAM.

Like elemein said, an A10-5800K might be more cost efficient... but you can't exactly OC on that board. If you want to spend the extra money, no harm can come of it.

Don't drop to the 5800k. The 6800k is better. It officially supports 2133mhz RAM and the 5800k does not. Trust me when I say the 6800k is MUCH easier to overclock and has a MUCH higher ceiling. (4.5ghz x4 and igpu from 844 to 1020mhz on stock voltage) I got (4.7ghz x4 with only a small bump)

Like others have stated, I do recommend a better board. Get a fm2+ socket if possible so you can upgrade to Kaveri later. I bought a Gigabyte A88Xm fm2+ motherboard and I love it. You need at least a A75 chipset.

From a basic Google search, your current motherboard does not officially support DDR3-2133 RAM so you might have to run it at DDR3-1866 speed instead. Additionally, that Hyperx Predator 2x4GB 2133mhz RAM cost $100 USD at Amazon. For that amount of money, I think you are better off simply buying a graphics card to get better performance.

For that amount of money I would simply buy a Radeon HD 7750 DRR5 which sells for under $100 USD.

The Radoen HD 8650D paired up with DDR3-2133 RAM is equal to a Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 graphics card. It's performance will be halfway between the Radeon HD 5570 and Radeon HD 5670. The Radeon HD 7750 is equal to the Radeon HD 5770. There is a huge performance difference between the Radoen HD 6670 DDR3 and the Radeon HD 7750 even though your A10-6800k will bottleneck the Radoen HD 7750 a little bit because you are only using DDR3-1333 RAM instead of the standard speed DDR3-1600 RAM.

Hm, so there is no way to run 2133mhz memory with this motherboard? I dont really wanna buy another one motherboard, maybe later. And Im affraid if 1866mhz ram isnt good enough, and there is big difference between 2133 and 1866.

My G.Skill Ares 2x4GB 1866mhz RAM cost $50 on sale. I have seen the 2133mhz version of that for just a few $ more. I would wait for a good sale that will be happening any day now. There is not very much difference between 1866 and 2133. There is a big difference between 1333 and 1600. A decent difference between 1600 and 1866, and a smaller difference between 1866 and 2133. The difference between 1333 and 1866 is huge.

EDIT: A lot of people consider 1866 as the "minimum" for APUs. 2133 is considered "optimal" because anything after that is when the diminishing returns really kick in. The thing is, 1866 is still really good for memory. The gain from 1600->1866 is bigger than 1866->2133, and 1866 is a long way from 1333. Besides, if you have quality memory you can always overclock it. I can understand wanting the best for your system, but the biggest jump is going to be from upgrading your processor.
