Yes you can use DDR3 1600.

It will run at 1333.

But can i do somthing abaut it so it will run at 1600 or i have to buy a better cpu

It has nothing to do with the CPU.

You can OC the motherboard to get 1600 if I recall correctly. Look at your motherboard documentation.

It's not going to make that much difference. You probably won't even notice it.
