The "k" runs .2Ghz faster but it is unlikely you will even notice that.
Personally I would go with the "k" just in case I ever wanted to O/C in the future.

(assuming you go with the "k")

I don't think any 1151 motherboards support DDR3, only DDR4 or DDR3L

Completely overlooked that when I commented. You are correct that only DDR3L is recommended.
