My i7 6700k OC @4.6GHZ @1.260V
and my memory stock clock @2133mhz
My question: this is fine or do I need to upgrade to higher MHz memory like 2666mhz?
My memory: 2x8GB Hyperx Fury 2133mhz

It depends on your approach, as performance gains mainly come from multitasking, using DRAM-heavy applications, handling large data volumes, and playing certain games like Fallout 4. This is becoming a noticeable pattern in current gaming trends.

Memory speed isn't a big factor in gaming or everyday tasks, so spending extra money on new memory might not be worthwhile. You could still try to optimize your memory, and I heard Toms recently posted a guide on the subject.
