Is 2133mhz enough for gaming?

[Mahir_1]

I'm upgrading my Pentium to an i5 7500 + RX480/580 soon. I currently have 8GBs of 2133 DDR4 Kingston Hyper X RAM. Should I buy 2400? Or is the difference way too minor?

Difference won't even be noticeable.

So, just add another 2133 stick, eh? Not sure if it's only my country but RAM is relatively expensive now :\ Got my 8GB 2133 for 49USD. I only see 2400 available now and it's 62USD? And will this i5 give me at least 3 years of use?

Adding sometimes works sometimes not. Even identical modules purchased at different times can be incompatible.

What would I need to do if they turn out incompatible? :\ Replace them? The shop I bought it from afaik is kind enough to do that

Yes , that's why it's best to purchase in sets to avoid adding issues.
