you don't really get anything from fast ram other than benchmarking, in all my fx rigs I run 1866 most of the time.
all that "really" matters is you have enough, 8 gigs to start, and it runs as rated, number of channels, correct timings.
for day in and day out use 1333 is fine.
 
Depends on the title or activity, but it sure can. :)

It is pretty clear to see that Ryzen can be fairly dependant on memory frequency, but it depends very much on the sort of test and the nature of the workload on memory accesses. On the benchmarks where it matters, our memory kit was above to push performance up and over 20%, although despite the few benchmarks where this happened, it was outnumbered by benchmarks that had zero or a very minor effect. Some gaming titles had up to a 5-10% difference in average frame rates, but others had zero change.
