Those CPUs support up to 1866MHz memory, so I would stick with that or 1600Mhz. 1600MHz seems to be the cool spot for AMD CPUs. No fuss, no muss. AMD CPUs have weak memory controllers and have seen some that have trouble with 1866MHz memory even though they are rated at up to that. A 2x4GB kit is probably all you need. Go with a 2X8GB kit if you think you will need more depending on what you do with the computer. If you are going to be doing a lot of graphics and/or video rendering, a 2x8GB kit might be what you want.

You can't go wrong with: Gskill 4Gb X 2 Ddr3 1600Mhz Cl9 Ripjaws X RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)

Thank you. Asus A88XM-A - how it would be?? Is it ok for both the sockets(A-10 7800,A-8 7600).This board is available here. Without graphic card 500wt PSU is sufficient?? What ram you would recommend ?

That Asus A88XM-A board should work well for you. A decent 500W PSU will be OK and a decent kit, 2x4GB or 2X8GB of 1600MHz memory will be good too. If you want to spend some more, you can go for 1866MHz memory but you probably don't need to. Any increase from the two speeds will be unnoticeable unless you run a benchmarking program which will probably show a slight increase.

I have used Team memory for several builds with 88X boards and have not been disappointed.\

Easy to set up in BIOS. Just enable XMP and the BIOS will set the timings and speed perfectly to 9-9-9-24 at 1600MHz.

Also an easy OC to 1866MHz if you want to go that route.

I don't know what is available for you, but look for memory with a CAS9 like in the specs above.

Thank you. Asus A88XM-A board specifies memory frequency as 2133 MHz, 2400 (O.C) MHz, 1866 MHz, 1333 , 1600 MHz
Corsair VengeanceCorsair 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz (Specified), 1600 MHz (Tested) Desktop Memory - Black (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) is available here. I think this is CAS 9 latency?! 4 GB sticks 2 are enough?
These are also available here:
Gskill 4Gb X 2 Ddr3 2133Mhz Cl11 Ripjaws X RAM (F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL),
Gskill 4Gb X 2 Ddr3 1600Mhz Cl9 Ripjaws X RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 4 GB PC RAM (F3-2133C11S-4GRSL)
Among these what is to be selected ??

Except processors, mobo and ram are available and sockets also available from eBay. I hope Kaveri processors will be coming soon and I want to wait till the launching.
