Considering games and overal system performance what is best to focus cas latency or mhz?My main dilemma in fact is between
G.SKILL F3-2400C10D-16GTX 16GB (2X8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200 2400MHZ TRIDENTX DUAL CHANNEL KIT
and
G.SKILL F3-2133C9D-16GXH 16GB (2X8GB) DDR3 PC3-17000 2133MHZ RIPJAWSX DUAL CHANNEL KIT
Gaming takes more advantage of mhz, and editing takes advantage of a lower CL.
However, the performance gain between the lowest mhz RAM, and the highest, it makes 1-3% difference in FPS. You'd be far better off going with simple 1600mhz RAM, or even 1333, with a lower CL. Get whatever's cheap.
The only time I would recommend getting 2400mhz RAM would be with the use of an APU.
