My system:
GTX 960
i5 3470
Should I buy 1600 MHz RAM or 2133? My motherboard supports both frequency. Is there any difference? Do i get more FPS in game? Thanks

You might get a couple more FPS BUT I would think your not going to get it to run that speed with the CPU you have.
A lot of the times with the fast memory you need to also overclock the CPU to get the memory stable.
It's not really worth spending the money on the 2133 memory for a small gain that might not even work since you already have memory.

Are you sure that's not just officially supported? Because the 3770k only officially supports 1333mhz and 1600mhz when in reality it can support ram a whole lot faster than that. I don't believe that cpu is limited to 1600mhz when using a mobo that supports higher frequencies.
