RAM Speed difference

[Noob Builder]

How much of a difference in noticeable speed will you get if you have 3200 mhz ram vs. 2400 mhz ram?

Depends, more times than not it won't be an change but it depends on your CPU and what applications you are seeking improvement on.

too many other factors to give a concrete answer, but by todays prices when 3000MHz kit cost $10-20 more than 2400MHz kit you might as well get the faster kit and hope for the best.

With an Intel CPU, you probably won't notice much...if anything.  On a Ryzen CPU you'd see a little bit of improvement.  On my Ryzen 1700x CPU, I recently went from 32 gigs of 2400 RAM, to 16 Gigs of 3600 RAM.  After optimizing the RAM settings to my system, I'm noticing like a 3 or 4 FPS average increase on Shadow of the Tomb Raider.  I imagine you'd see more of an increase with a 2000 series Ryzen CPU.
