Ram 1600 or 1866?

[rafalplracing]

Hi everybody,
Which ram should I choose:
Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz CL7
Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz CL9
Corsair Vengance Pro 1600MHz CL9

My PC's spec:
GPU: ASUS GTX 780 DC2OC-3GD5
CPU: Intel I7-4770K
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VI Hero
Power Supply: Corsair CX750

Thank you in advance.

If you are doing RAM intensive activites (editing, etc) then go for the 1866MHZ, otherwise you wont notice a difference for most day to day tasks including gaming.

You really won't notice a difference. Go with the CL7 RAM.

Yeah, actually I do some editing, as I have an youtube account (gameplays and stuff). At the moment I'm using a shit ram from my old PC, which is 866MHz. I had to use this for 6 months as I didn't have enough money to buy proper ram with the rest and I felt like the PC isn't working optimally. That will be a huge step, from 866MHz (don't know the brand) to 1866MHz from Corsair, won't it?

you have the hardware to run 2133mhz cl9-10 for best performance and for about the same money with any of these corsair models, which would be best.! g.skill, kingston will also do the job. if you are limited to these specific options though the cl7 kit would be best fit!

If you were feeling like your system was "not optimal" with 866, you will probably still feel like it is "not optimal" with 1866 since faster memory has a relatively small impact on performance aside from memory benchmarks and the most RAM-bandwidth-intensive applications.

In most everyday applications, doubling RAM bandwidth yields less than 10% net performance improvement. If your system feels sluggish now, it will only feel less sluggish after the upgrade unless you are affecting other variables along the way such as upgrading from 4GB to 8-16GB.
