Good ram on a budget for an A78M-E35 mobo

Just wondering what kinds of ram would be reccomended for that sorta thing since once I get the apu sorted and can switch the board in I'm pretty sure I'll need to replace my ram as from memory they're 2 2GB 1333s and from what little I have heard bout amd sets the igpus which I'll be running on for a while are impacted a bit more by ram speed n such.
 
Which APU were you looking at getting?

The IMC on the CPU generally determines the upper RAM limitations. You should be able to run 2133 at least on the board you already have, although if you get an APU with less than 384 shaders you'd be better off putting the extra money in a higher end APU than faster RAM.

The board itself that you already have should be OK other than being a little gimped by just having 2 RAM slots.

Figured the apu would be fine since it was made for fm2 and 2+ is an improved variant of 2.
So I'm guessing the 2133 4gb ripjaws are the way to go for this setup?

Yeah, unless you can find corsair for cheaper

Haven't seen anything equal to them cheaper, and nowhere local offers any good prices on tech cause new zealand doesn't seem to understand how to be competitive with pricing... cheaper buying from the u.s with international shipping than buying locally for most tech, outside the motherboard I bought which newegg woulda charged insane shipping on which made it cheaper to source inside the country.

Well I have the apu incoming over the next fornight from amazon and the ram just arrived and luckily even my weak old mobo can run 2133 so I'm running the Ripjaws already.
