16 gb ram 2133mhz
amd fx 6350 6core 3.9ghz

Solution
There is no difference in 2133 and 1600 MHz RAM.Watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgzA2C61z4
Get the CL9 RAM,no need for CL11 RAM. 😉
CL9 Ram is faster than CL11 Ram, and your motherboard can run that ram at 2000 Mhz (Quoting from the website: "Note6: DDR3 2250/2200/2133 MHz will operate at DDR3 2000 MHz when OC."). To have an idea of the relative performance of one set of RAM compared to others, just do Mhz/CL. (It just gives you a rough idea of which ram is faster than the other)
