I have 2x4GB of DDR3 1600 CL9 and need to get some memory for a build for my GF so I was going to give her mine and upgrade to 16GB.
Looking at DDR3 2400 as my motherboard supports up to 2133 but the price premium is pretty hefty.
I will probably go with a Skylake or Cannonlake upgrade as I'm still rocking sandy bridge, so DDR4 is probably going to be required for that.
TLDR: Is it worth getting DDR3 2400 over 1600 especially when I will probably be upgrading in the next year
