I can upgrade from 16gb(4x4) ddr3 1600 to 8gb(2x4) ddr3 2400 for about $60 and was curious if this would be a good move or not?

Is 16gb of 1600 better than 8gb 2400? What gains or not can I expect to see?

Help please

Here are my specs:
i7-3770K at 4.7gHz
Radeon 7970
Asus P8-Z77 v-PRO
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 4x4GB
Corsair HX 750 PSU
