Yes. Technically even 1600 MHz is an overclock. The highest standard for sandy is 1333. Just make sure your chipset and motherboard support overclocking to those levels (1600+).
For instance I have a 2500k, z68 chipset running my ram at 1866.

Lycros is correct. The maximum frequency of RAM entirely depends on your motherboard rather than your processor.

You're probably not going to notice a difference with either. Are you doing anything that uses a lot of ram or needs fast ram?
If I had to choose between the two for a normal user, I'd say get another 8GB of 1600. That way you could fiddle around with a ram disk

Mmmmmmmm makes sense... No I just pretty much do C# programming and game high end games... I like my pc to perform as fast and good as possible taking the specs into account... I also love to bench and tweaking my pc to get the best possible scores... Not much online gaming also.. I just want to upgrade to something like G.Skill because they look cool!!! Dont like ram where I can see the actual pcb... Gaaaaaay!
