With your rig if in the budget I'd go the GSkill Trident X, next would be the GSkill SNipers in 1866/9 or 2133/9 (not sure where you shop but prices are generally very closeI am from Bulgaria so i dont have a huge selection of places to shop from and buying oversea most of the time is more expensive http://nikem-bg.net/search.php?p=g.skill this is the only place i could find g.skill to be sold in my country , was thinking about going for tridentx 2400 but i am not sure if i should go for it since i am going to use the pc for mostly gaming and general usage nothing professional.
with the usage you describe, let cost be your guide as you'll not see any appreciable performance differences between 1600mhz and 2400mhz. If you were encoding video, the 2400mhz would be a time saver.

Look for lowest CAS rating. For 1600-1866Mhz, go for CAS 9 max, 7 will be lowest you'll find but performance won't be that noticeable.
Go with what's within budget along with the above stated
Fastest performing in 1600Mhz;
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£77.02 @ Amazon UK)
And for 1866;
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£88.58 @ Amazon UK)
