No reason to go over 1600mhz? There will be no difference at all after 1600mhz?

Heatsink is also another important matter after consider the latency over speed??

Large heat sinks on RAM, can present an interference to CPU coolers. I would recommend 1866 CL9. Above that speed there is a diminishing of return on your investment. The RAM speed of 1600 is the norm these days.

There might be some, but honestly it's only going to show up when your editing alot or something along those lines. For gaming, podcasting, whatever the case is 1600 mhz is what is best.

What will you be doing with the rig, if strictly gaming, then yes 1600 is sufficient, but even at that 1600/9 is and has been entry level for awhile now...With a haswell the minimum I build with is 1866/9 and not a lot of those, most go 2133/9 (even on the client gaming builds)....For Haswell I'd look to the Gskill Tridents or Snipers 1866/8 or 9 as mentioned as the minimum...If not the GSkill sets would look to Corsair (higher price, generally not as strong) before looking at Kingston
