Currently running:
i5-2500K
GTX 960
Asus P8P67 Pro mobo
RAM is a mixed batch: x2 sticks of 4gb PC3-12800 & x2 sticks of 4gb PC3-10700 in alternating slots.
I ran UserBenchMark and it noted(obviously) that the GTX 960 is a problem.
I'm thinking an upgrade to RTX 2060 would be tremendous but prices are steep, especially in Canada. That's a $500 card here right now(I'm rounding up)
I wonder if I should change out the RAM. Should I get a kit of 2x8gb ram DDR3-1600 as shown below? Would a clean matched set be better?

Can I use faster RAM? I looked it up but am not sure how to read it. Here's what it says on ASUS site for my mobo:
"DDR3 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 Hz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory "
I know the video card upgrade would make a difference but is the RTX 2060 the right fit for the other components?
So what do you all think?
