Which RAM?

Depends on the rest of the system but generally I'd get the Corsair. Faster speed, plus with the stickers removed they look very clean.

System is for gaming, have a i5 2500k and a 560ti.

I gave you the reasons, it is faster, looks better imho! :p

The Corsair is 1600MHz vs 1333MHz. Sure the Kingston may do that as well but the Corsair is rated and tested for that speed under the same voltage and timings. £3 extra is nothing really.
 
We dont even know what mobo he has. If it supports 1600mhz then id go for that all day long. If it only supports 1333mhz then the answers quite obvious.
 
Id say corsair or kingston, its all i have ever used.

Do you have a large cpu cooler that needs low profile RAM?

I have 16gb of the kingston hyperX grey and its brilliant, but its price went up a little lately

Or you could take a look at the vengeance low profile.

Both are low profile and will allow monster coolers to be fitted.
 
The Corsair is faster memory, however I have run 16GB of the 1333 HyperX Blu above for over 12 months now. My PC is used for home working and it's switched on well over 12 hours per day.

The HyperX Blu I ran overclocked at 1500mhz at 1.3v (yes 1.3v) with stock timings. I am now running the memory at 1550 at 1.4v as recently overclocked little more.

The fact the HyperX Blu ran so quick at so little voltage shows it's very high quality memory. Computer is rock solid stable.
