Will you be overclocking?

What are the latency timings on those sticks?

What's the price difference?
 
Since you're not overclocking I'm assuming you won't be tightening timings or anything in BIOS either. I'm also assuming the 1333mhz kit has tighter timings than the 1600mhz kit. It doesn't really matter which one you choose. The 1333mhz kit can probably run at 1600mhz with slower latency timings, and the 1600mhz kit can probably run with faster latency timings at 1333mhz. I'd go with the 1600mhz kit since they're the same price, just in case you ever want to do some overclocking.
