When it comes to gaming, it won't make much difference at all. Most builders recommend more slower RAM vs less faster RAM for gaming builds. More RAM means more buffering is possible so better performance (to a point).

Fast RAM is mostly only really useful for computational tasks and in the case of an APU or if you are using intel's iGPU for gaming. Integrated graphics solutions share RAM with the system so the faster it is the faster the iGPU performance. If you have a dedicated GPU however it uses it's own dedicated vRAM instead so the fast RAM makes very little difference. In fact I would be surprised if it makes more than a 1 - 2 FPS difference, even going from 2133 to 3000.
