Ok, so I'm building a computer now and shopping around for parts. I decided to go with 16gb (8gb x 2) instead of 8gb (4gb x 2). I am waiting for the release of the i5-4670k and GTX 770, so in the meantime I am just trying to find good deals.

I was looking for memory that was 1600mhz speed with good timings. I came these and don't see a difference justifying the $25 price difference. Can anyone shed some light?

The only real difference I see is the heatsink.

Secondly, would 1.5v be the best bet for a Haswell MB?

I think things will be more clear after the official release of Haswell.

So maybe you should ask again after that and use the meantime to research

other parts (Asus has already released their motherboards that are ready for Haswell).
