My current specs - i5-8400, rtx 2060super, 2x8gb 2400mhz (1200mhz each stick), 1440p, 144hz monitor.

I want to upgrade to 5600x, 3200mhz 2x8gb cl16 sticks. 

 

Is this a good upgrade with noticeable performance gain. I recently have been seeing that zen 3 requires a good ram configurations and getting expensive ram extends my budget as i need to buy a good mobo as well. 

 

How should i proceed with my upgrade ?

You should see a decent performance gain, and yes you should get fast RAM with Zen processors

i have 2 sticks of 8gb 1200mhz running at dual channel so together they make 2400mhz. Also i recently noticed i bough two rams of different brand so probably they are not running efficiently
