Re: [Parts Check] Thoughts on this system

For the memory, I see the board supports DDR3 2600+, So does it matter if its pc1600 or 2600? Any noticeable performance difference?

While tech sites generally recommend faster ram for use in the AMD APUs so the iGPU can take advantage of the speed increase, I do not have any data to suggest one way or another for the 760K, which ships with the iGPU disabled (requires a discrete GPU to function).

The only thing cheaper than the 8GB (2x4GB) 1866 ram I linked earlier is this Mushkin memory from NCIX (which is currently out of stock) and only goes for $63, a savings of $5: »us.ncix.com/products/?us ··· Enhanced

If I were you, I'd just go for the 8GB of 1866 ram.
