hi i am building a system with a AMD A10 7700k and a motherboard A88XM-A which i saw is the most used for this kind of APU ... so my quiestion is what kind of ram should i get???
I saw some people use 1600mhz and some others even go with 2400mhz ram speed but the APU A10 7700k ram speed is 1866 is it going to have any issues if you put a bigger ram ?

With APUs, the faster the RAM the better. The board itself will accept up to 2400 RAM, which I would recommend if you can afford it. 2400 will be a noticeable improvement over 1600 or 1866 with APUs for gaming.

If you won't be gaming, I wouldn't recommend over 1600, though. And if you haven't bought this yet, you would get far better performance all around if you went with the new unlocked Pentium CPU with a dedicated GPU.
