Hi! 

I found a really nice price for one 16gb ram stick but the problem is that it is only 2800 mhz. I've got the i5 8600k and i just wounderd if this is enough? Also is it better to have two ram sticks than one?

Thank You!

ram speed doesn't mater much on intel, only ryzen (because at the moment, the infinity fabric between the CCXs are controlled by ram speed)

get 1x8gb over 2x4gb, so that you don't need to throw out the 2x4gb when you decide you do need >24GB ram

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Any little bit would help as long as you don't go below the 2666MHz that's standard for CFL.
