I'm just curious as to which of these pieces of ram i should go with on this set up.

I'll be using it for light gaming until i can afford the new GTX 750ti.

Heres the 2 options

One is 1866mhz and is cl10 while the other is 1600mhz but is cl9. I'm curious as to whether there will be much difference between the two and if i should just save myself some cash and go with the 1600mhz.

All input is welcome, thankyou.

I'd look for a decent set at 1.5, both of these are 1.65 sets, too much for entry level DRAM. If they are the only two choices, go with the 1866 sticks for the higher bandwidth

I'd go with the second option since it is 1866MHz memory.

one question i do have is they are listed as 1.6v and my board spec says 1.5v. Will this be an issue or is it just a matter of turning up the voltage?
