Does it  matter for gaming and rendering if I have 2400mhz CL9 or 2400mhz Cl11? I saw some ram for pretty cheap on amazon from Kingston that costs 20€ less than g.skill 2400mhz cl9 ram, but t has Cl11.

CL9 is faster than CL11, so it depends on what you want/need.

It makes no real difference in gaming really. Having the absolute best timing/frequency is only needed for content creation and specific scenarios like that

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Maybe you can find a happy compromise. I've been looking at some RAM lately too.

 

G.Skill Ares 2133MHz CL9 (2x4GB) is only 5 EUR more than Kingston Fury 1866MHz CL10 (2x4GB).
