-What RAM will work at 1866hz?
-Will AMD SSD be the best option?
-Will the CPU's 8 GPU's run my games without a Graphics card decently?
-Will stock cooling be enough for now?
-Is a Corsair 1000RM enough power for Two or Three Video Cards for future investment's.

I am trying to figure out what ram to use with this combination CPU MoBo. I have checked AMD's website for the QVL (qualified vendor list) of approved RAM, but I am concerned it may still not work as they do not update the list after the release of the MoBo. I would like 1866hz and 16GB min, is 4x4g sticks or 2x8g the way to go. Will I be able to run 4 RAM sticks at 1866hz, I've read that it may only recognize 2.

I am also wondering about the AMD SSD (Solid State Drive), are there better options for this MoBo and CPU. I want a SSD for it's silent running and faster ability to run games.

What can I expect from the processor's 4 CPU's and 8 GPU's ability to handle video game's without a Video card, can I play Witcher 3, or War thunder at high or max settings?

Without a video card, will I be able to run the computer with stock cooling or will I need a water cool heat dispersion? 95W seems like it would not get too hot.

My last Question is about the power supply, I want a Corsair 1000RM for it's silent features, but will it be enough to run two or even three video cards with the crossblade technology?

Hello I also have a Crossblade Ranger and I did not find my ram compatible, but I was still able to use it. Get either Crucial, Hyper X Fury, or Corsiar ram and you should be fine. Everything else is fine.
A good place to check if you power supply is enough is to go on http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp and fill out everything.

Stock cooling would be fine, but be warned its extremely loud at full speed. If you will get water cooling later on make sure you get one with a 240mm radiator because the Cooler Master Hyper 212 does about the same cooling as the other 120mm radiators.

I have an AMD A10-7850K and I can run most games over 30fps so the 7870K should perform better. Without a dedicated graphics card you should be able to play most games at 60fps on low settings, 30fps maybe on max settings. Expect it to perform at 30fps on most games, except for source games which should get more frames.

I got myself an R9 280x and it performs very well with the APU. Just make sure if you get a dedicated graphics card you disable the integrated graphics.
