Hi this is my first post here
I'd like to ask
i have a msi z87-gd65 motherboard with an i5 4670k and 8gb of ram
will there be any difference upgrading to 1600mhz ram from 1333mhz ram?is it worth

I am using two monitors for my pc and my pc takes long time before one of the screens show the motherboard screen.Is this normal? It takes so long and am i doing something wrong
Plz help need advice

and i feel my asus gtx 660 ti 2gb is bottlenecking my pc
shall i upgrade my ram or graphics?hard to make a decision
 
Solution
You could try running your ram at 1600mhz and see if it works, then you wont need to upgrade.

Yes its normal for the second screen to show up after.

The 660 ti is a good card, are you getting performance issues in a game?

What exactly do you mean by a long time to get to the motherboard screen? You won't really see any kind of difference with that small of a RAM upgrade, but like Rob said above, you could try adjusting the speed in the BIOS.

And the graphics card cannot bottleneck your PC. What exactly are you experiencing performance-wise to think this?

Yes but many you can just overclock to 1600, so worth checking before spending the money.
