All righty guys I am almost done making my budget gaming build. I just wanted to check with the community if this can run League of Legends, Far Cry 3, Black Ops 2, & Hitman the absolution.

Here's the build:

Cpu: AMD A10 5800k (3.8ghz turbos to 4.2ghz) - 109.99

Mobo: MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 (DDR3 1PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 1PCI SATA3 HDMI DVI USB3.0) - 60.63

Hdd: Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200gb hdd -52.79

Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-14900CL9D ( 8gb, 1866mhz, CL9) -77.56

PSU: NO COST ( OCZ 600 watt)

OS: NO COST ( windows 7)

Case: Bitfenix Merc Alpha Steel -34.99

Total: 376.28 ( with the 12% tax)

Well it doesnt support it out of the box, that would be a ram overclock, but if the ram can run at those speeds out of the box it makes it easier to overclock it. my friends asrock 970 board was able to run his 2400 ram using the xmp profile and the board doesnt support it. The board also doesnt support it as the apus have the memory controller built in, so its the cpu that cant support it out of the box and same for the fx cpus. Its not specifcally that apu that cant support those speeds without an overclock the apus in general i believe are able to handle up to 1866 and fx 1600.

Anyway upon first boot the system will automatically set ram to 1333 and will require setting to 1866 in the case of the ram u picked, but the apus igpu...

APUs prefer faster ram when using the igpu so would consider this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231665 - 8gb 2400mhz gskill ares for $77 or else it should play most of those games, the only one id be worried about would be far cry 3, but all matters on the resolution ur playing at and the settings u want to and can bare playing at. Should work no problem tho, the 5800k can play bf3 on med @1080p so seems good.

U could, but found these but there on back order, - http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=78174&vpn=KHX21C11T2K2%2F8X&manufacture=Kingston, Found 2400 ripjaw z but were $87. If if u cant wait for the back order and must go thru ncix, then stick with what u got now or if u want spend the extra $10.

Being a gskill kit it should be overclockable to at least 2133.
