Ok, question: what's the difference between the shell shocker ram

DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)Timing 11-11-11-30Cas Latency 11Voltage 1.6V          That is $40 (2X4gb) and this ram           http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231660DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000)Timing 10-12-12-31Cas Latency 10Voltage 1.6V That is (2X8Gb) for only $65? To a noob like me, is the timing and latency difference going to effect me?  The only other differences I see are aesthetic. Thank you guys so much for the help!!!!
 
 
edit: after reading this artice, http://www.anandtech.com/show/4503/sandy-bridge-memory-scaling-choosing-the-best-ddr3/6 I am thinking that Sandybridge isn't really going to benefit all that much with faster ram so I may just keep what I have after all...

 
At least for Sandybridge, I wouldn't even gain 1 fps. Turns out that my crappy "laptop" 1333 ram is perfectly fine in this case. I will give that program anther try when I get home but from all the other monitoring I have done, I am close to using all 8 gigs. So by adding another 8 gigs, I probably won't see a whole lot of difference but maybe on some newer games, that extra ram will come into play.

I read that review as well. Everything I could find says that my old sandybridge cpu is not going to gain much due to some technical stuff I don't understand. I am running a 970 gtx and for the most part, everything is running pretty well. Arkham knight is really the only thing I have played since getting the card and the new 1440P monitor. (96hz refresh FTW!)
 
What I did find was that I finally figured out that AIDA64 monitor (thank you Bob16314!!) I was using 7.5 gigs of ram a lot of the time. I have been having a few stutters now and then and my usb headphones have been cutting out for a few seconds during high intensity areas when I game. I slapped the 2 new sticks of ram in and to my surprise, I can honestly see a difference. No stuttering, no more audio drop outs and things are just smoother overall. It didn't make sense to me as I was still under 8 gigs of usage before installing the ram but maybe it reserves some or does something so it doesn't use 100%
 
Since installing the ram and checking it's usage, I have hit 9.7 gigs a few times so I guess it was somehow being limited. Maybe faster ram would have yielded a few more fps but then I would have spare ram to sell and would have to spend another $40.
So I guess I learned a bit and to answer my own original question, Yes, to a point, I do see some difference moving to 16 gigs. I am curious to see my usage in other games but I need to finish Batman first. I can't skip around!
