ram Does My Moderate Memory Speed Matter?

[NPDPdev]

When I built my computer, I decided to go with a modest Ryzen 5 2600 and 16gb of 3000MHz Trident Z RGB ram. I didn't worry about getting 3200 or 3400MHz ram because I've always known ram speeds to leave performance relatively unaffected. I knew that Ryzen played well with higher clocked memory and that it makes a bigger difference, but I only recently learned the extent of that. I am planning on getting an X570 mobo and then (a month or two later) buying a shiny new Ryzen 9 (assuming they are actually revealed to consumers). I obviously can not purchase ALL of this at once, and am thinking of buying new faster ram right now (at a decent point so I can afford it).

 

My question is: Would it really be beneficial enough to purchase 3200 or 3400 (most likely) ram? Should I just save towards the other parts?

There's no point since 3000-3200MHz is the sweet spot for Ryzen.

After 3200 MHz, the diminishing returns kicks in hard so 3000 is fine.

 

On top of that, next gen Ryzen is improving core to core latency, so faster ram will have even less of a difference.
