So, I'm going to buy the apu a10 5800k cpu, Gigabyte F2A75M-D3H Socket FM2 motherboard and amd radeon hd 6670 1gb gddr5 gpu.

I don't know which RAM should I buy, what freakquencie should it be, how much do I need for gaming, which CL, from which company, do I need cooler or I should buy and mount the cooler on my own.

As you see, I'm kinda stuck in this. Please post some examples.

For the record I'm not an expert.

With a build like that most people would go with 8GB of ram. If you're building a gaming PC it doesn't really matter the CL and frequency. Pretty much anything above a clock speed of 1333 Mhz is pretty decent. As far as CL I'm told anything 10 or below, but you want a good balance of low CL to high clock speed (i.e. CL 9 and 1600 Mhz, or CL 10 and 1866 Mhz).
Considering it is factually the best you wanna go with DDR3 memory since it is as cheap as it is nowadays.
Also I wanna add that 8GB sticks are pretty overpriced so go with a 2x4 setup.

But like I said, I'm not an expert, I just read a lot of forums and articles.

Thanks, I was thinking to go with a Kingstone 2x4 gb 1600MHz cl9 with good cooler at 80$. Also I read that it has XMP, that helps at automatic stabilizing?
