So 1600 DDR3 as a waste?
If you plan on overclocking probably not depending on what you dividers/bclk you use.
Otherwise you will be wasting the extra speed as it will be running underclocked which may or may not be an issue.
Your motherboard supports dual channel Matched memory so you could probably max that with 16gb by using all 4 slots with 4x4gb sticks all the same Ram i.e all G Skill/Corsair/Mushkin.
Check your motherboard's QVL for makes of Ram that will work on your board..also check updated BIOS's as MSI may have modified it to work with differnts brands/higher Ram speeds etc.
