Hello,
The ram I currently have is 2.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 698MHz. Lol slow huh?
Anyway, I was wondering if upgrading to 1333mhz 8gb ram would increase my computers performance and by how much.
Thanks in advance.

My PC Specs:

Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD A10-5700
Trinity 32nm Technology
RAM
2.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 698MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35
Graphics
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS (EVGA)

 
Solution
The gpu is slowing you down the apus gpu is better than that 8400gs. I'd pull the 8400 get some dual channel 1866 or 2133 to boost the performance of the apu till you can get a better gpu.

A pretty fair amount, 2-8GB is a pretty big jump, would recommend faster DRAM though, the APU like fast DRAM (primarily for graphics which am guessing you aren't really using with the 8400 and all, but still, today, entry level DRAM is considered 1600/9, if possible would go a min of 1866/9
