Upgrade Speed Advice

[mehuk]

How much more speed (noticeable) would I get from swapping this RAM

Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit

For say 8GB of this:

GeIL EVO Corsa 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C10 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit

Im talking in terms of gaming, say BF3, Football Manager... and just everyday multi tasking of internet, photoshop just basic stuff tbh

Must admit im thinking of going 16GB with the machine overall, so its either 40 quid for another 8GB of what I have OR go from scratch and get this GEIL stuff for what 120 quid for 16GB and flog my current 8GB.

Advice welcome.
