More Memory or Faster?

Current Specs
I7-4770k Maximus Hero mobo
780ti Classified in SLI x2
16gb of XM3 1600mhz 4x4
Samsung 840 PRO 500gb in Raid 0

H100i CPU Cooler.

My question is, it appears my memory is the slowest thing on my rig. I was wondering if i should upgrade to a fast memory still at 16gb. I dont see the need for 32gb. As this computer is mainly gaming and the occsional editing. And I live stream from this computer..

What are everyone's thoughts?

It depends if you are gaming then you won't need an upgrade 16 gb itself is already overkill but benchamrks show 1600mhz wont outperform 2400mhz in gaming by even 5% but if you are 3d rendering in programs you might need more powerful RAM eventhough 1600mhz would probably be enough

I am building another rig for my daughter. So this memory I am currently using would just go to her rig. But I wanted to see if getting a 2400mhz or high memory would even help with FPS. I am using a 144hz monitor as well.. Also what can people recommend. I have always been a Corsair FanBoy.
