From what I have found it seems that ram-speed have very little effect compared to actual improvement of FPS ingame or similar. I might be wrong or have missed some key point, but I am curious if there is a reason to go with higher speed ram, keeping in mind that it will add to the cost.

Here is nevertheless an alternative I have for a 3000 mhz ram kit.

Not just FPS; also general speed of CPU. Ryzen loves fast ram.

 

BUT: hang on till monday. We have computex and then we will know more about zen 2 and release dates. 

 

Could be be worth waiting for zen 2 !
