Higher end systems that use DDR3 memory can still be respectable gaming rigs in 2020. It won’t quite keep up with a modern CPU, but a Core i7–4770K or 4790K is still a decent gaming processor. You’ll want to get rid of that 2014 graphics card and put in something . . . Read more

a 6600k with a mild overclock (or even stock settings) and 16GB of 2133MHz RAM should be plenty good for some 60hz 1080p gaming.

It’s very good , it’s cheap and performs very well.

Yes, you can. When the BIOS detects that the RAM is too fast for the memory controller or faster than the rest of the system memory, the fastest RAM will be clocked down to the speed of the lowest RAM. In your case, the CPU doesn’t support more than 2133 . . . Read more

4GB of RAM is recommended as a minimum configuration for the typical productivity user. 8GB of RAM is the sweet spot for the majority of users, providing enough RAM for virtually all productivity tasks and less demanding games.

But as far as gamers are concerned, 8GB DDR3 RAM is still relevant, and it has enough potential to run all the modern games. That said, if you want to run a server on your DDR3 based computer, you will need 64GB or 128GB RAM.

Your 1600mhz is slower than the 2400mhz. Around 50% slower. This will effect data fetch during multitasking, slow performance during high fps gaming at high resolutions even though 1600mhz is pretty fast.

Yes, it will run better than one 8GB 2133MHz RAM stick because dual channel has better performance. But in gaming, this doesn’t matter much.

Yes. However the 3200 ram will throttle down to mat h the 2133 ram. Also they must be the same data rate. It’s pretty rare you will a board that is both ddr3 and ddr4.
