    Not for normal gaming/internet browsing usage.

    For very demanding programs like photshop or other stuff like that, then yes it is beneficial. Otherwise no.

    Also the difference between 1333MHz and 1600MHz is basically unnoticeable.

    Unless your are doing heavy video editing, or mass multi tasking, anything more than 4GB is a useless.
