RAM Speed and Video Editing

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x and 16gb of 3000mhz ram.

I've been using Adobe after effects and seem to be completely maxing out my ram utilization very quickly. So I'd like to upgrade to 32gb (for now, hopefully 64gb later.)

The exact same 2x8gb kit I have is on sale for cyber monday right now for $45-50. So my question is, should I just pick up that kit and have the 32gb (4x8gb) of ram for adobe after effects, premier, photoshop.

Or should I wait until I can upgrade to a 32gb kit of something faster (3200 or 3600mhz)

If the extra ram speed won't make a huge effect on adobe products then Id like to just take the cheap route instead of spending $120-140. I know Ryzen likes fast RAM but that usually seems to be in relation to gaming and I rarely game so not sure if it's still as important with a video editing rig.

 

Thanks in advance!

Performance difference in editing won't be more than 5%, so go with lower speed more capacity.
