Hello
I'm looking for 16GB for a new computer I'm planning to make. Currently I have 16gb of 1333mhz-cl9 Kingston memories on my current system and I have them for 2,5 years without problems.
I've been thinking in 1866mhz-cl9 or 2133mhz-cl10 but I don't know wich ones to choose...

My specs:
MB - Asus Maximus VII Hero
CPU - Intel Core i7 4790K
GPU - MSI GTX 970 100me

I have an SSD too

(sorry for my bad english but I'm from a non-native english speaking country)

I would go for 2x8gb so it could be upgraded and less stress for the memory controller,

The trident 2133 would be a nice set.

What is the new pc used for? With games you might not see too much improvement to spend more money on new ram unless being able to sell the old for a decent price.

Some options you could look at,

with 1866 don't get a cas latency higher than 9,voltage 1.5v preferred
with 2133not higher than 10,but 9 still. preferred;voltage can go up to 1.6V
with 2400 look at cas 10 or lower,voltage of 1.65V is fine.
