hello there!

I'm looking to buy new ram for my gaming rig and I just wanted to know if this is a good choice and what is the difference between these 2 types. I'm lucky enough to say that for now the price is not an issue so if there is anything better that is compatible with my motherboard I'm open to suggestions. My board is the P6T Deluxe (it's not the V2 type) and I'm looking to get 12 gigs as I think I read somewhere that is the limit my board supports.

I would get the 1st RAM you have listed, as it is 1600 vs 1333 for the second. BUT it will depend on what your existing memory already is if you are planning on using it along with the new. If not, then get whatever speed memory your mobo can support that you want that falls into your budget.
