If your CPU and mobo can support 1600, I would assume the price is about the same, so yea why not. And don’t get ddr3l, normal ddr3 will be fine.

First thing first, what are you going to use your computer for? Gaming, Video editing, etc?

Gaming. I don't have a lot of money, so that's the best option for me.
