or 1600 at cas 7 http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f312800cl7d8gbxm

they both cost about the same price, just not sure which ram performs better

1600Mhz CL7 is good. But you'll not see much of a difference when using either of them.

The 1600/7 is the better - if you OC it to 1866 (easily done) it should run 1866 at CL8, better than the native CL9 of the other set
