Sorry I am kind of a PC noob but I have a few questions.
First off is it worth it to upgrade from 1600MHz Ram to 2400MHz Currently I have 16GB (2x 8GB) of G Skill something ram DDR3 1600MHz but while I am upgrading nearly everything else in my computer I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to this ram https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-2x8GB-2400MHz-Desktop/dp/B00EUPV2RQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470688278&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+ddr3+ram



Now for my second question. If I have a GTX 980Ti (Came "superclocked" out of the box), i7 4790K, 1tb 7200rpm HDD, 1 250GB SSD, MSI Z97 Motherboard 16GB DDR3 ram.. What type of power supply should I get?

What is the exact model of your motherboard? @Question 1.

You should probably look in the 650-750 range. Higher if you might want to SLI in the future. @Question 2 A G2 or GS EVGA, Antec, XFX, or Supersonic are probably your best choices for models.
 
With intel chips you would not see any noticeable performance gains to make it worth paying the cost difference between the 1600 chips to the 2400ones , certainly not enough to buy all new chips.

650w would be the minimum you should look at for power supply. EVGA B2 or G2 would be good as well as most any Seasonic or XFX unit. Stay away from Corsair CX/CXM, EVGA B1/G1/W1.

So the EVGA SuperNova G2 would be a good option?
