Hi, i'm in the process of building a gaming PC and was wondering which one of these rams would be better:

as you can see the price difference is like 60p so price is out of the question.

The G.Skill kit is significantly better. It's rated at a lower voltage (1.5V vs. 1.65V) than the Kingston kit, which means in addition to the stock speed advantage, it can also likely overclock more and/or use less power.

Get the 2133mhz if you don't have huge cpu cooler because it may block the ram slots. And here the reviews fr he ram performances.

The GSkill hands down, much wider bandwidth and you don't want to touch 1600/9 sticks at 1.65 anyway, those are basic, entry level sticks and should be 1.5, 1.65 is indicative of weak ICs at that low of a freq
