I'm having troubles selecting the right RAM. I want to build a gaming PC with 8gb RAM. I have the option of these two:

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3-1600 - $120

or

G Skill 8G(2x4G)DDR3 2133Mhz PC3-17000 CL9(F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM) - $100

(I could probably lower the price of either.)

So what I'm asking is which is better and which should I buy? I obviously want the lowest price and want to be able to use my PC for gaming. The motherboard I'm planning on using will be ECS-A960M-MV and the cpu amd fx 6300 with an Asus Radeon HD 6970 gpu

Ok, thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I recently bought a 1x8gb kingston RAM card off ebay for $40 thinking it was a good deal but when i received it the card looks tiny. The black squares are very small compared to other RAM cards of that size. The package says KVR1333D3N9/8G and 8GB-PC3-10600 CL9 240-Pin DIMM. I think it's for a mini motherboard because nowhere on the package does it say DDR3.

PC3-10600 refers to DDR3 1333 MHz RAM

Yeah possibly, the seller on Ebay listed it incorrectly and the packaging seems a bit sketchy. So I'm sending it back.
