Ya but at least it's DX12 compatible and uses low power. It is garbage for $220, I agree, and the R9 290 is a better buy, but you will be forever stuck in DX11 land with that card and it'll heat your room up like a sauna.

It's 2133 RAM, I fail to see how that's too much for FX.
Dramatic as usual. The 960 is a waste of money. Dx12 isn't even out yet.
Sorry thought it said 2400 mhz. Even still, fx "supports" 1866. No reason to get 2133 for gaming, even for 5$.

It's $66... cheaper than most 1600MHz kits...

I agree ATM, that's a really good price for really good memory. Plus, I bet with some tweaking that kit could run 1866 with really good timings. Then, should the OP decide to upgrade later on, that kit will transfer over to Intel quite well.
Sorry boss, I was opening the link on my phone, and it was showing me something else

Just because it's rated at 2133 doesn't mean it needs to be run that high.
And as you said, it'll transfer over to other platforms well, if there's an upgrade later.
