So I just wanted to get some advice on these different speeds on Ram.

I game at 1080p also sometime a little bit of Photoshop work at times.

There's a good £30 discount on the 2666Mhz ram right now that's why I'm asking really.

Honestly I'd just get the 2666 as it will perform perfectly.

Edit: I guess it also depends on what CPU etc you have

little to none, it is a ~0.0001 of a difference, APU's tend to take more ram hence prebuilt systems with APUs and no GPUs tend to have more ram.

But in a modern build let's say i5-i7, ram makes little to no noticeable difference unless you are extremely pinpoint precise in vision and feel. Not every game and application benefit from more ram.

Alright sounds good I will keep to 2666Mhz then. Also I'm running a I5-7600k

What do you mean by "more efficient"? Perform better? It depends what games you're playing. I hear stuff like H1Z1 heavily favours faster RAM. That being said, 3000MHz is in no way worth £30 more than a 2666MHz kit.

Some titles, usually poorly optimised games favour faster RAM, but it's not worth the £30 premium for the 3000MHz kit. The standard for DDR4 is 2133 so the 2666MHz will be plenty fast anyway.
