if you would benefit from faster RAM then you would know

For all i know faster memory is a meme. You do get higher frequencies but you also get higher latencies. Just make sure you match Frequencies on all your modules

2400 is enough if the motherboard can handle it otherwise 90% of modern cheap and decent motherboards can run 2133 and that's the to go option anyway.

For gaming it doesn't matter for everything else it does, especially when you overclock.

GTA 5 has shown fairly decent performance gains from higher speed DDR4 memory. (i.e. 3200mhz instead of 2133mhz)

Speed doesn't matter much, as long as you got more than 32GB for caching purposes.

Latency matters more, or so I`ve been told.

If you're running games/other graphics-intensive programs with an APU/iGPU, it makes a noticeable difference (since you don't have VRAM).
Doesn't do much in pretty much any other situation.

Is that right or you've got it backwards? I'd guess gaming would be more demanding

This. Its a lot like the refresh rates. Few games take advantage of 144hz just like adding ram. 16gb is plenty for high quality gaming. If ur a photo/video editfag then its different and u may want higher ram

Make sure your motherboard supports whatever speed you want and make sure all your RAM is the same speed.

No it's based on my research from when I bought ram - and second research when I wanted non-gaming ram.

ddr3 1600 with low latency is good for gaming.

If you want everything else such as performance in software go with 2400 ddr4 server ram. But I already said if you want to buy a cheaper motherboard they usually only support 2133 ( I've checked lots of mATX ones ) so 2133 is just as good but I've seen great improvements with 2400 +
