I was looking at these two memory kits:

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10R/dp/B007QY87MG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1380071762&sr=1-3&keywords=Corsair+Vengeance+Red+16GB

I will primarily use this my PC for gaming, and work (including small amounts of Photoshop).
I'm having a hard time deciding between 8GB DDR3 1866MHZ 9 CAS and 16GB DDR3 1866MHZ 10 CAS.

Is having one less "CAS" more desirable than an extra 8GB?
Would it be better to have the 16GB for the future?

Thanks everyone!

P.S. If you feel like answering another question, would you recommend going up to 2133MHZ or is there really no point?

So other than the memory size, what about the MHZ and CAS?

I appreciate the help!
Went with the 16GB. :D
 


I saw that set, but it's on back order, so didn't recommend it. If it was in stock, it would be the one to get.

I can just get it elsewhere for around the same price. :)
