as topic says,

recently had issues with my Ram, 1 stick went bad, currently running 1 atm, and going shopping for more in the next day or two. Looking for suggestions thats good for gaming.

mobo can handle DDR3 1600 mhz. but a friend said I should keep in mind of the

9-9-9-24
9-9-9-27
10-10-10-30

^^ no idea what this stuff means, and if its important in regards to compatibility. can anyone help with this, and possible suggestions for my situations.

if other hardware is a factor i'll list it below:

Specs:
Asus H81M-e
intel i5 CPU
Geforce gtx 960 2GB SSC
atm 1 crucial ballistix sport 8gig stick 1600 9-9-9-24 (preferably replacing it with a new dual set)
500 watt cool master PSU

The listed numbers are the primary timings, which are one measure of the RAMs latency. For more info on that check here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency.

An example for DDR3-1600 is the following "time to first word" in nanoseconds
8-8-8 10 ns
9-9-9 11.25 ns
10-10-10 12.5 ns
11-11-11 13.75 ns

2 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

This means:

  • ■ You can have a maximum of two RAM modules (DIMMs)
    ■ Maximum supported memory is 16GB
    ■ The maximum supported speed is 1600MHz
    ■ The board does not support ECC RAM (server grade memory)
The timings that you listed are not a limitation of your motherboard, they are for the actual DIMMs. You should...

The timings that you listed are not a limitation of your motherboard, they are for the actual DIMMs. You should look for the lowest latency that you can at 1600MHz. Anything on the following list should be compatible.
