Does ram speed matter for my rig

1. Use FastSync, not V-Sync (Trust me)

2. RAM Speed has little effect on an Intel system

So  FastSync is a good option for my GTX 1070ti i7-8700k 16GB DDR4 2133mhz ram?

Yes, it preserves your high fps, while removing screen tearing. And compared to vsync, there's no input lag

Does it preform fine? won't make a big difference, esp at 60fps. I wouldn't worry.

ram speed isn't a big deal in my opinion

It makes a lot of difference this short videos can show you that memory is also something to consider when you're avoiding bottlenecks.

Personally speaking it makes no sense to buy an i7 8700K when your target is 1920x1080p60hz and for this then yeah 2133mhz will be alright for the most part however this could be achieved with much cheaper CPUs to begin with...

 

Making a balanced build should always be the goal...

But i still will be able to play Watch dogs 2 with VSYNC on locked at 60 fps?

I have a 7700k, Oc'd to 4.8GHz, 16GB's of 3000Mhz Ram, a GTX 1080ti, running in 1080p and I still get dips under 60FPS in Ultra mode when driving in certain areas of the city during sunset. Also tried this using a i5 4960k, 16GB's of DDR3 1600Mhz Ram and with a GTX 1080, a GTX 1070 and GTX 970. Regardless of being in med/high/ultra in 1080p, I couldn't get a constant 60fps. When driving in certain area's of the city at certain times of day it's unavoidable. That said, with my 4960k build, when I increased the ram speed from 1600Mhz to 2400Mhz, I saw a big increase is frame rate stability (a lot less stuttering) and a increase in FPS in areas where it struggles more before. Still less then 60FPS in those ares's but it was an improvement.  The game looks really nice,  but is poorly optimized for a constant 60fps experience. Things I haven't tried yet is using 32GB's of ram, or running the game off an NVMe drive.
