I have the intel i7-4770k picked out for my processor, but it says in the processor specs "memory type - DDR3 1333/1600." but after looking at multiple other processors, they all said the same thing...

will this Gskill RAM work with my processor?

if so, is there anything i need to do? please be specific! Thanks

Those are just the RAM speeds that are guaranteed to run. You can get 2400Mhz RAM, but it will depend on your particular CPU and MOBO if it will be able to run at that speed. Generally if you overclock your CPU you can reach those speeds easily with your RAM though.
