So I know that Ryzen benefits from fast ram and 3200MHz is the sweet spot. But I found 16gb ram clocked at 2133MHz for 117€ and 8gb ram clocked at 3466MHz for 110€. My question is will it make a difference if I buy the 8gb ram over the 16gb variant in terms of gaming performance? I would like to get the 16gb but if speed matters more (in gaming) than I need more ram I will get the 8gb. Also 16gb is Kingston's HyperX Fury and 8gb is G.Skill's Ripjaws V.

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: GTX 1060 6gb
MB: AsRock AB350M Pro4

The G.Skill memory is a better product, to begin with, however, I think that in this case you'd be better off with the 16GB because the performance difference in titles that can actually benefit from MORE memory is significantly greater than the performance difference you'll see on ANY title when comparing 2133mhz modules with 3466mhz modules.

Further, the slower memory can likely be overclocked to a faster speed anyhow, though it will probably take a bit of effort and patience to find what speed those modules are capable of reaching and before you ask, no, I don't know what speed you'd be likely able to overclock them to because much like CPUs every module is different and no two are the same even if they came off the assembly line...
