From a gaming & streaming games stand point does the faster ram make a difference? & If I plan to get 16gb is the $50 price increase worth buying ddr3-2133 over ddr3-1600?

So pretty much as far as gaming/streming goes, the faster ram wouldnt make a difference, but the overall performance of the build would be better? So if I just had $50 to blow would you recommend the the DDR3-2133?

No. Because with 50$ diffrence you can get better GPU or CPU which will give much better improvment than faster RAM. Or in case you are just getting RAM and nothing else - I would spend this $50 for shoes or a nice dinner. There is kinda no point in future-proofing your RAM since we're all gonna switch to DDR4 in a few years time.

well...in gaming it will not make any difference
hell forget about ddr3 sppeds the ddr4 also does not give any performance increase over ddr3 while gaming
however the higher speed will be better for streaming
if you dont do too much streaming
then dont spend extra on faster ram
rather use the money for going a step higher with your GPU
which will give you a huge performance increase
