If you're using 8GB or less of RAM like most consumers you're not going to notice a difference at anything higher than 1866mhz. DDR3 Dual-Channel or higher at the lowest possible latency is the correct answer. I'm a fan of Mushkin Redline

This 1600mhz dual-channel kit has a CAS latency of 7.

I'm basing this on the fact that you're opting for an APU and likely not doing anything massively memory intensive.

for an apu, the higher speed the better
for 8 GB : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231665&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

I am planning to use MSI A88XM-E45 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard which support up to 2133


Well, Under 85 Euro for 8GB.. (which is standard)



Still, more speed = more frame rate.. for APU... right?

Keep in mind that with AMD's APUs memory has a significant effect on gaming performance, so what you stated is only true for CPU bound tasks. (assuming a discrete card isn't in use)



Right. 2133mhz is the reasonable speed to aim for with an APU, as 2400mhz can be a bit of gamble to get running stably.
