As the title says can someone explain to me in detail what's the difference and which is better (faster?) for a gaming pc between

CORSAIR CMX8GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 8GB (2X4GB) PC3-12800 KIT

and

CORSAIR CMX8GX3M2A1600C11 XMS3 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1600MHZ PC3-12800 DUAL CHANNEL KIT

sorry for the greek in the 2nd link...seems they forgot to add the "view in english" option but you can still see the characteristics.

They've both got the same bandwidth, but the first one has lower latency timings, so it should be better. However, the fact that it's a little less expensive leaves me a little worried that there's something I'm missing, unless the first one is on sale.

nah it's not on sale and I suppose it's just ignorance of the store or something...still I saw they are both 1.65V so I'm going for this
CORSAIR CML8GX3M2A1600C9 VENGEANCE LP 8GB (2X4GB) PC3-12800 DUAL CHANNEL KIT
forgot to say it's for i5-3470.
