I been buying parts for my new computer and was planning on just re-using the RAM in my current computer which is 4x4GB of Vengeance LP. I was wondering whether its worth buying some faster RAM or just sticking with what i got. Its mostly a gaming rig
 
Solution
No, you'd be surprised to know that RAM frequency does not matter much in gaming.
See this video link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgzA2C61z4
In this video Linus Sebastian (most reputed techie on youtube) benchmarks and explains how even 2400 MHz RAM cannot show a noticeable difference in gaming FPS.
You're all right with your RAM. No,need to buy a new one
