So I'm building my very first PC and have been studying and learning a lot about all the things to consider regarding different components. I had already decided to buy little more expensive hyperX savage 3000MHz memory when I started to read about RAM speeds and motherboards running default 2133MHz without OC. So everyone is saying it's not worth OC:ing your RAM so then there is no reason to buy a faster RAM that 2133MHz? Am I right?
Buying RAM with good speed or not???

depends on ur usage...if u r high on multi tasking and stuff like video editing or mixing then more frequency can be useful...otherwise 2133mhz shd be enuf...i wud rather recommend 2400mhz to keep sum leverage and future proofing...check out this guide...

I am getting a Z170 board but what I've read everyone says overclocking RAM is not worth it... And an additional question for Hellfire13 so sure 2400Mhz sounds good and is probably what I will go with but still it's 100% the same as 2133MHz without OC:ing right?

as i said before, unless u r using a lot of ram intensive apps, the difference will not be noticeable...but then when u do that, thr will be difference...2133mhz without OCing and 2400mhz at stock are definitely not the same...but 5yrs down the line, that extra 250mhz or so may cum handy...check out that guide for a better explanation...
So I read the article and I'm not sure it quite explained why bigger speed is better even though the support of MB is 2133MHz. But I believe you but in that case where should I stop? If bigger is in fact better no matter the support then should I go all the way to 3000MHz even if I'm not sure I will ever overclock it?

wats ur usage...gaming or graphics intensive multitasking???
remember, even gaming is graphics intensive...but games generally tend to use less threads or cores than graphic intensive suite applications when run in parallel...like a mod studio...the more higher ram they use, the better for them...r u into such stuff???
if u r, then higher is better...if u r just a casual gamer...then 2400mhz is more than enuf...
