Hi,
My Nephew is looking into buying the A10-7850k CPU w/ Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 MB
http://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx
Combo from Micro Center for 220$ (US). Were mainly buying from Micro Center due to here in Minneapolis Micro Center is about the only decent PC Parts Place that we can physically drive to.
This A10 CPU/MB Combo is an Upgrade from his present Intel Core2-Duo 6600 w/ 6GB Memory and an AMD 5700 Video Card. His PC is mainly used for Listening to Music, Surfing the Web and Gaming such as Minecraft (Fully modded-out), Star Wars Old Republic, Elder Scrolls Online, plus other various Online MMO's.
Were looking at buying 2x8GB of Memory to go along with this A10/Gigabyte MB Combo. The Gigabyte MB will support 64GB (16GB per slot) of PC2133 RAM. His PC is on occasion used as a Minecraft Server so the extra RAM is a plus.
So far we have come up with a few choices for the RAM. We have decided to go with 2133 Memory Speed but we can adjust to Slower Memory if any of you suggest to.
1. Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB 2133, CAS 11 for 200$. Considering RAM from Micro Center due to it is within Physical Driving Distance to us in case the RAM comes DOA or craps out soon after purchase.

2. GSkill Ripjaws X 2x8GB, 2133, CAS-9 from Newegg for 169$ with Promo Code

Any Suggestions for RAM would be greatly appreciated.
PS. Neither of us are OC'ers so OC'ing will not likely be done.
