Hello world! I'm building my system with an AMD 750k processor. I was wondering what brand or type of RAM would work best with it, within a 150-180 price range and a 2x8gb layout.
 
Presumably, you are paring your Athlon X4 750K with an FM2+ motherboard -- many of which support DDR3 2400MHz. A kit from the mobo QVL list would be in order.

According to these folks at the OverClock.Net AMD Athlon 750K/760K/BE Owners Club, clock the UNB to a minimum 2200MHz with DDR3 2133, and if you are not running 4.5+ GHz at 1.5v 55C load, **You Are Doing It Wrong** :D

A UNB at 2500MHz with DDR3 2400MHz might be a stretch but possible if you can keep your UNB volts down. The 750K is essentially one-half of a 246mm2 SOI Trinity A10-5700 so it will take some volts but the UNB volts tend to drive up heat.
