Hey guys so I opened here a thread last time and I need some help regarding RAM Mhz

 

I'm planning to upgrade from i3 4170 to an Ryzen 5 2600

From R9 270 to R9 280X

From DDR3 8gb of Ram to DDR4 8GB 3000MHZ

 

My question is should I pay the extra 20$ for the 3000mhz or stick to the 2133 mhz? how much of a difference would it make performance wise to FPS games when i need 144 fps at all times (no ultra settings, all low)

Yes, pay the extra. Ryzen really loves fast ram and it will perform well.

two sticks for dual channel if you can, also make sure the RAM is compatible and tested as AMD platform can be a bit finicky with RAM speeds (less now than before but just to be safe). You can check your motherboards website for the QVL (qualified vendors list) to see all listed and tested modules at specific settings and sizes.
