I’ve used PC3 12800 1600 memory on my rig up until this point. A memory stick just went bad on my system. The PC3L 12800 1600 is 20$ cheaper. Would this RAM work on my system?
 
L stands for 'low power' AFAIK. Just runs a bit less voltage, but should be fine. Might be 'low profile' though. Either way it should be fine. I wouldn't count on being able to overclock a low power memory stick though. Hopefully someone else can give you a more definite answer
