I am going to buy myself a new gaming pc but i do not know which one i the better to go for 1333mhz or 1600mhz. (8gb)
I will be getting with it the amd 6 core 6300 and a amd 7950.Would make a difference to the amount FPS i get in game. I will be playing games like battlefield 4 and crysis 3.
All opinions and answers are much appreciated! Thank you.

No it does not actually. You'd be surprised at just how much RAM does NOT matter in gaming. I mean getting a 8GB 1333MHz is fine mixed with the amazing 7950, you'd be able to play almost any game at High to Ultra settings. So in the end it's up to you. But all in all, the RAM doesn't really have an effect with gaming and even if it does, it's a really small amount.

1600 at 8GB is the norm entry level, while 1333 will work OK some games are utilizing DRAM more, and with the slight (currently, prices are rising) difference in price 1600 is a good idea - will possibly appreciate it more when doing things other then gaming, like surfing the web and especially if you multi-task (numerous windows) or do video, imaging, VMs, CAD etc
