So, A while ago I got a used pc, I am now just looking at it and deciding what I want to keep. My current ram is 24gb 1333mhz of ram. And I found 16gb 1600mhz of ram. Which would be better to use? I am specifically using my pc for gaming if that helps at all.

This depends on the configuration. Are you currently running dual, triple or quad channel? 

The increase in performance of going from DDR3-1333 to DDR3-1600 is going to be limited in any case, but if you also have to sacrifice memory channels for it, it might actually be decreasing performance.

Do you use more than 16GB? If not, the 1600 kit is an upgrade.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
