the kingston ram is considerably faster, both have xmp. Both are decent brands.

Kingston is the obvious choice. Although i'm surprised you couldn't find a g.skill kit similarly priced at same 1600mhz speed.

CL7 (7-7-7-18-2N) @ 1066MHz for GSkill means lower latency, also use's 1.5v

CL9-9-9 are higher but 1600mhz speed is preferred. Please note the 1.65v is slightly outside Intel's recommendation for Haswell, Assuming that is what you have in your z87. I'm sure it's fine but could easily find some 1600mhz sticks @1.5v.

yes, i go with 1600mhz but at 1.5v

But that is just one stick, you need a dual kit. You could buy x 2 separately and hope there fine, they always are, although t is better to have them matched as closely as possibly by serial no if you go 2 separate stick purchases.

yes, i would still prefer a dual kit though(@1.5) which those single sticks are. It does not matter as much as it use to in years gone by but bandwidth is nearly always preferred over latency.

I having trouble with e-shop otherwise i'm sure i could find something in dual at required specs.
