Which RAM should I buy?

I already have an 8GB kit of G.SKILL 2x4GB RAM 1600Mhz. Currently, Newegg is selling the same RAM, but at 1866Mhz. After the discounts and promo code, the total price is $31.99. The price for the 1600Mhz kit is $42. Should I buy the 1866Mhz, even though my processor can only use 1333Mhz(Pentium G258)? I'm planning on upgrading to an i7 4790 soon, and it can use 1600Mhz.

 

The sale only lasts until the 4th, so I need to know soon.

its going to underclock to match the lower ram's speed either way

MAKE SURE ITS SAME VOLTAGE

Is it a problem that the timings are different?

the only thing that matters is voltage...

Well, it is. They're both 1.5V. Is there anything else I should look out for? I primarily do video editing and After Effects on my computer.
