So i'm on a strict budget, and a store near me is doing the following bundle which i'm really interested in:

i7 7700k

ASUS ROG Strix Z270E

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb(2x8) 2133mhz.

This bundle is within my budget and is about $120 cheaper then buying the parts separately. I really love the look of the motherboard, but the draw back is the bundle comes with 2133mhz ram.

If i want 3200mhz ram for roughly the same price, i'd have to downgrade to the cheapest available Z270 board on the market, which will look ugly in my windowed case.

As the title says this is only for 1080@60, although i plan to upgrade to 4k@60 later this year when 1080ti prices drop.

So will i see performance losses at 60hz if i go with 2133? (obviously don't care about drops from 140-120 if i'm on 60hz)

Thanks.

Ya, the 2133 while it sounds a lot slower than the 3200 in practice on that chip it's not all that big of a deal. Plus, RAM prices are crazy high right now. 8 months ago I bought my 2x16Gb 3200C15 kit for 170 from Newegg, right now that same kit is like 300$. Prices will go down again. At least with the 2133 you're in the door, and then later down the road you can upgrade to something a little quicker.
