The actual difference is that the 2x4GB 2400MHz kit is somewhat faster because it can run in dual-channel mode and at a higher frequency. The real difference is, well, none. Get the cheaper choice of the two.

I would not recommend getting the parts you mentioned (specifically the CPU and motherboard). The board may require a BIOS update to use the Kabylake chip, and without a compatible CPU you'd have no way of doing this. Suggestion: Get a Pentium G4620 with a H270 board instead. The G4620 supports hyperthreading, placing it in the same performance range as i3s, but comes at a much lower price. With a H270 board you wouldn't have to worry about compatibility.

1) Same capacity
2) 2x4GB of memory can operate in dual channel mode
3) 2400Mhz memory has more bandwidth than 2133Mhz memory

There are specific memory timings to look at as well, but generally I would say the 2400Mhz would be faster. Not all systems will support running 2400Mhz memory.
