1333 vs 1600 ram does it really matter ?

Solution
1600 would be a little better --- IF it is a better set of sticks, if you go and buy 1600/11 and already have 1333/9 then the 1333 will better overall performance wise, but if you have slow 1333 say 10 or 11 CL and get a good set of 1600/7 or 8 the 1600 will show the better performance where you might notice a bit

no, probably the 1333 mhz will outperform the 1600 as a lower mhz has lower cl too and cl matters a lot more in ram's performance than the mhz, exmaple: the best ram you can get is the kingston hyperx 1866 cl10 as it has very high mhz and a very low cl for the mhz it has (usualy 1600 mh have cl11) plus the hyperx can be overclocked too to a 2133 or 2400 mhz (but if you are not running a kaveri cpu there is no point in doing so)
