if you was me with my set up with a Asus P8Z77-V LX.... 8GB Samsung PC3-10600U 1333mhz DDR3... eventually a Nvidia GTX 970 and either a Core i7-3770K or Core i5-3570K (with 2tb SSHD) which ram would you pick to go with it? I'm wanting 16GB of fast Ram because Football Manager which is spend half my life on requires amazing ram and CPU to play at the best settings.

I play loads of games, so would have to be good for that.

I have been looking at...

And

This is what Ram my mobo can take..

'Memory
4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel Memory Architecture
Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
* Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs.
* Refer to www.asus.com or user manual for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).'

Or would this be better? is slower @1866MHz but faster timing speed

to be fair there is no real perceivable difference between say 1333mhz and 1866mhz

I've OC'd my ram, underclocked it and I couldn't figure out a difference

Timings make the most difference in my experience, nice tight timings are better than loose ones again from my experience

these seem good, they can run 1600mhz to 2400mhz at various timings so you could pick and choose what you like and have a fiddle with timings
