Have to pick between these memory sticks when setting up my computer. How much faster is the Kingston, if any and why?

For the: Standard PC3-12800/1600Mhz DDR3 [ add $154.00]

For the: Kingston Hyper X CL9 1600Mhz [ add $249.00]

You don't say what set the 'standard' is, if 1600/9 the Hyper X are no better at all, from what I've experienced Hyper X are actually on the weaker side of the bulk of 1600/9 sets, most require 1.65 which is way to much voltage for 1600 sticks...I'd look to 'standard' 1600/9 like GSkill Snipers or Ripjaws X that run at 1.5 and are much stronger sticks

Just take the standard and save 100$ ( 100 more bucks for HyperX ? no way... )
As this guy above said Gskill is good, for me Crucial Ballistix Sport is good too but anyway, rams speeds doesnt give you so much boost to worth so much money. Save 100$ to upgrade something else in your rig like CPU/GPU or Motherboard.
