2400 mHz Ram worth it??

Not open for further replies.
I a building a new gaming pc. The games I will be playing most of as of this year are Valorant, Minecraft, Pubg, CoD Modern Warfare, Fortnite, and Apex Legends. Here is a list of the parts that I have ordered:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3 3200g
GPU - AMD Radeon RX 570 4gb Vram
PSU - Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White certified
MB - GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H Micro ATX
RAM - 16gb (2x8gb) Corsair Vengeance LPX series rated at 2400mHz

When ordering these parts, I intended to buy 3000 mHz Ram, but accidentally ordered the 2400. When I realized this I went to go see what the 3000 would cost, and it is $20 more than the 2400. I am very tight on budget here, so my question is, should I return the ram when i recieve it and instead buy the 3000 mHz, or will the 2400 Mhz be good enough. If the difference in frame rates is 10 or less, I think id stick with the 2400, however i want to know how long 2400 mHz will be substantial compared to the 3000 mhZ. If the 3000 will last say 1 or 2 years longer before it becomes unusable, then maybe i should go with that. Your thoughts?
 
crystal balling is always fun. :)
if the diff was only $20, I'd be going for the 3000, purely based on the fact - more is better/faster. and the price diff is almost negligible.
but sadly that motherboard doesn't support 3000Mhz.

I'd probably invest in a slightly more powerful PSU, something around 650watts, gold+.
and are you getting a NVMe SSD for that mobo - with an NVMe, a fast CPU, and good GPU, you've limited the main bottlenecks.
2400Mhz memory will be fine.
