Should i get faster ram?

Should i spend the extra $10 on ddr4 3000mhz ram instead of 2133mhz? Thanks!

This might give you an idea on the potential performance you might get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qksXthUcbiQ

Obviously, systems and specs vary so it might not be quite like the video.

Depends on your processor.
If its a non K series processor you wont use anything above 2133MHz.
If is a K series processor on a Z170 board, sure why not.

For $10 extra it's a no brainer. I'll aim for DDR4-3000 myself. Above that, price climbs up alot for close to no gain, below that it seems skylake can get undersaturated in scenarios. Plus, it's likely you'll be able to swap your cpu in that motherboard for at least one or two next generations later (Kaby Lake, Cannonlake). It's expectable next gens will be able to utilize faster ram better.
