First off, thanks for your time and help.

Which of these RAM kits is the best. They are very close in stats, though two of them have similar timings and cas latency, and one is slightly different.

Hands down the Tridents are the best sticks of the three sets listed, for strictly gaming any of them will do, gaming primarily uses DRAM as nothing more than a conduit for data...however as games become a little more memory centric then the better sticks will be better (if planning to keep/use this for awhile (which it appears you plan to do by going to 16GB instead of the off suggested 8GB, you'll also find the better sticks offfer more Oomph when do other task with your rig
