Can you always overclock Ram?

Hey! 

 

I am deciding what RAM I should get with my Ryzen 3 2200g, as I want to make the build as cheap as possible, I am now deciding if I am taking 2x4gb @2666mhz ram or 2x4gb @3200mhz ram.

the difference between both is a solid 20 euro, so I got 2 questions.

 

1. Will the 20 Euro be worth it? or not?

2. If I take the 2666mhz ram, could I overclock it to 3000 or 3200mhz? 

 

Thanks already for helping!

 

Ps: this is the 2666mhz ram I want

If you're using the iGPU you could potentially see a relatively big fps gain depending on titles. Most likely the gain will be just below 10%.

Maybe.

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Igpu or not, high speed ram will mean high speed infinity fabric and should boost the CPU in everything.
