I bought the Biostar A55MD2 motherboard and am going to be putting an AMD A10-6800k on it. Or so I thought? I am a little confused about some things.

On pcpartpicker the information about it says that it can support up to 32 gb of memory, but the pamphlet in the box says it can support up to 16 gb. On the box it says that the A6 and A4 are recommended but it will support the A8 and A10; is it ok to use the A10? Also no HDMI slot...I feel as though I screwed myself out of $40 (cyber Monday sale) and don't know if I should use it or not. I will probably end up using it regardless and upgrade in the future but if it isn't worth it I might just sell it. Oh and it only supports up to DDR3-1866. I was hoping to get 2133 but don't think I can.

Then 8gb is sufficient. If you dont do like video editing and those type of things more than 8gb is useless. Maybe later on games will use more than 8gb but for now you can stick to 8.
