You're changing the parts that matter the least, imo. Unless you're having troubles keeping RAM usage under 12GB, you should be fine with 12GB. I don't have any experience with 1600MHZ but many people on forums say there isn't much of a noticeable difference.

If you're needing the features in that motherboard, go for it, but if you are upgrading JUST for the performance increase (if any) I don't think it's worth it.
