I had three questions concerning the quality of the components I'm buying.

Instead of buying a samsung SSD I bought a PNY will I notice a differnece?
Instead of an i7 6700k 4.0ghz I opted for a i7 6700 3.4ghz does that 0.6 ghz difference matter?
The motherboard says DDR4-2133 but my ram is 2666 does that matter?

Please tell me your thoughts even if you dont know the the answers to everything i'm asking, thanks.

You'll prob be fine, and comparing the two, the CPU would be the biggest difference not only do you lose the higher base clock but the ability to OC also. The drives won't be much of a difference and on the DRAM it will all depend on what you do with the rig. To be honest doubt you'll notice a difference DRAM wise
No you won't notice the difference in ssd speed most likely, since you have a board that isn't capable of over clocking I'd suggest the cpu you went with not the k series, all ddr4 ram can run at 2133 but you can probably find some cheaper @2133 speed and save a few bucks

I'm going to use it for After Efects, Music Production, and Gaming. Do you think any of those would need faster RAM?
