Currently you have 8GB RAM in an ASUS P7P55D with an I7-860 CPU. You're thinking about increasing it to 16GB, but unsure what the best upgrade options are. Some sources suggest higher MHz RAM, though it's unclear if that really matters. Corsair recommends 8GB DDR3 XMS3 at 1333Mhz, which is a specific model (PC3-10600) with certain features. Prices are around £38.48 per pack. It seems like the details are a bit confusing for you.

According to common belief, 1600MHz was ideal for DDR3. It makes sense to look for it at a lower price if you can. You shouldn't be spending heavily on an outdated platform. The cost for this RAM is similar to what you'd pay for a full system with 16GB of DDR3.
