Hi guys, I badly need help for my first rig.

I already bought most of the components except for ram. Here are my rig spec

CPU: AMD FX-6300
MOBO: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
HDD: 1TB WD
PSU: EVGA 500 80+ BRONZE
GPU: EVGA GTX 960
CASE: NZXT SOURCE 220 WINDOWED
HEAT SINK: CM HYPER EVO

So thats my build but im hesitant on which ram i should go for.. and has not decided if i should go for 1600 or higher..i just don't know what to do ever since reading something from those reviews about ram not compatible with CPU and MObo.. i know some rams are not but for cpu as well? this is my first ever rig and i don't wana fail at first builed cuz i cant affored to waste anymore money..
heres what i have in mind, CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A2133C11B, CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1600C9B (Blue) , G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GXM..

These are pretty beast, not a bad CAS latency, pretty low for what it's clocked at

and it's clocked at 2133.

With your CPU, you's probably be better off with maybe 1866, seriously doubt it will carry 2133 without some fair voltage adjustments, and maybe not even then. I'd look at the Snipers or RipJaws X in 1866/9
