:welcome: to the forum!

You need nothing more than 1600 cas9 DDR3, the least expensive kit you can find - but 1.5v max. The 8GB (2x4GB) kit should be all you need for gaming, but 16GB 2x8GB) may be a benefit for 3d animation.

So is this a Bad Choice.. Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ16GX3M2A2133C10) :- Rs 13450 [ 213 USD ] ... cause I Get this One Today in a Shop and start building..

But For the Other I gotta Wait a Few Days for them To be delivered....
 
Personally I would hold out for 1600 cas9, but you really won't see much difference in the real world under most circumstances.
