Which should I upgrade to? 2400Mhz vs. 2666Mhz

[roobiksangelo]

Hello, so I plan on upgrading my memory soon to 8 Gb I'm stuck on deciding whether to just add another stick of 4 Gb DDR4 2400 Mhz, or upgrade to a newer 4x2 8 Gb DDR4 2666 Mhz set by Team Delta?

Here are my specs:
CPU: AMD A8-9600 APU
GPU: GTX 1050 Ti
Mobo: Biostar A320MH-Pro
PSU: 700w PSU (came with the case)
HDD: WD Blue 500GB

I'm also planning on upgrading to a Ryzen 5 2400G paired with an MSI B450M PRO-M2 and from what I've heard is that the RAM speed matters a lot in the Ryzen platform. Please help me on this decision and thanks for reading.

2400 vs 2666 wont make much of a difference in real time. 2400 vs 3000/3200 will make a noticeable difference. 3000/3200 mhz are the sweetspots for Ryzen performance. So either go with 3000/3200 or just add another 2400 stick if you are not ready to spend.

I actually saw a 4x2 8 Gb set of Patriot VIPER clocked at 3000 Mhz on Amazon for 59.99 USD, they ship globally, but I live in the Philippines and I have no experience in that whatsoever.

If that price contain import duty which usually they dont, then it is fine. Also, check for global warranty as well on the product.
Check at your local malls/markets/wholesalers. They should have the same at similar or less price. Or search online...
