RAM speed on a10-6800

[AphroDeity]

ok, I know that i need higher RAM speed if I use the iGPU of my a10-6800k. But since I already have an r9 270x I should be ok with 8GB 1333 right?

problem is I'm having intermittent lag issues (LAN GAMES, bf3/4, NFS games thief etc.)every now and then and thinking of replacing my ram. But i want to know if it will be worth it.
benchmark is around 8k points on amd overdrive

From my experience, even 1600Mhz RAM is WAAYY better than 1333Mhz RAM. Also, look for RAM with CAS latency 9. 1866Mhz RAM would be ideal, but make sure you're motherboard supports it.

My board up to 2133 but I'm thinking if there will a difference between 8gb 1333 VS 8gb 1600/1866. Thinking I won't use the iGPU on the CPU

1600Mhz Cas9 vs 1333Mhz cas9 actually has a tad performance difference, and the price difference isn't huge. It's better to go with the 1600Mhz as that's going to be better anyways if you're not going to use the igpu. If you do use the igpu, the 1866Ram would be better.
