Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any difference between
8 GB, 1600 MHz, CL9, KINGSTON HyperX Genesis
8GB, 1600MHz CL8 Crucial Ballistix Tactical
and
Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 KHX1600C10D3B1/8G?
Is there any difference in performance in gaming?
And I just want to verify 2x4GB is the same as 1x8GB, right?

I also wondering about power supply(I know this is memory thread, but I didn't want to open new one), is there any difference between ATX 600 W, COOLER MASTER B600, 80Plus-Bronze and build-in 600 W, LC600H-12 V2.31?

Thank you

2x4GB is not the same as 1x8GB. You will get better performance off of 2x4GB because then you will be using dual channels instead of just one. I don't think theres a difference in the RAM you've listed. Anything 80plus will be a good power supply.

2x4 is always better.
The difference is small :
CL9 / CL8 is ram latency , the smaller is the number the faster they are.
CL8 can read file faster, it is better for rendering videos when you need that.

In gaming there is no* difference.

2x4 provides for dual channel which can be up to a 10-15% performance increase, and 1600 is basically entry level sticks so stick to 1.5, 1.6-1.65 1600 DRAM is often either older or using cheap ICs (memory chips) that require the higher voltage, and yes lwoer CAS is preferable, less clock cycles for the DRAM to complete and action
