Hello All
I am upgrading the RAM in my build to increase performance for gaming (I realize this will not increase FPS I am just trying to eliminate the stuttering I am getting on more modern games I play).
My build is as follows
Motherboard Gigabye P67a-UD7
CPU Intel 2600k
GPU Nvidia 960gtx 4gb edition
4gb Ram
I have been looking at RAM and I cannot quite make a decision on what is best to go for, I mainly use my PC to game.
I was looking at the following two sets

The above is 16gb at 1600mhz with CAS 9 timings

However this one is CAS 11 timings but 2400mhz clock. (also 16gb)
I am really unsure which is best here, especially for my system.
any advice on which way to go here would be fantastic. Also I am assuming the ram is the bottleneck in my system, if that is not the case please feel free to advise on that also.
One final thing, I am 99% sure I have selected ram compatible with my build, but if not I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
thanks so much in advance, just let me know if I should post any extra info.
