cpu+mobo+ram buying advice

[harshilsharma63]

i don't think the system going to use more than 8gb of ram, plus two module will run in dual channel, which will run games better than a single module of ram.

8 GB ram is highly recommended for an a10 5800k. The ram will be shared between the cpu and IGP, and the IGP alone can sometimes utilize 4GB ram. SO keeping 8GB ram means that 4GB for system and 4 GB for IGP. If you never ever want to upgrade the ram, then you may go for 2x 4GB modules.

And 1600 Mhz speed would be even better.(correct me if I am wrong).

I think 1866 is the sweet spot for a10 5800k.

Better to get 1600MHz ripjawsX and overclock them.

what is the price of 1866mhz ram stick??,
and how easy is to overclock 1600mhz ram to 1866mhz?
if its as easy as to just clicking and selecting in bios, then its ok with me, if i have to change voltage too then i might not do it.
plus there is the risk of damaging the ram with overclocking.

thanks everybody for helping me out.
Finally got this system-
Amd a10 5800k
ASUS F2A55-M LK2 PLUS
corsair vengeance ddr3 8gb(4x2) 1600mhz, was unable to find gskill

no software is showing correct temperature of the cpu, only asus utility/bios is showing it correctly.
