You're considering whether to upgrade to a 3200MHz RAM kit or stick with your current 2400MHz DDR4. Given your usage—1080p at 144fps and heavy VR gaming on the Oculus Rift—it's likely you'll need more bandwidth. A 3200MHz upgrade could provide a noticeable boost, but only if it meets your performance needs. Since you're budget-conscious and prioritize essential upgrades, a 3200MHz kit might be worth the investment if it delivers tangible benefits for your workload.
3200 seems ideal, not needing 3600. 2400 is too low; 3200 is optimal. Above that, big FPS gains won't be substantial unless you get a good 3600 kit. Found an edited version from March 21, 2020 by noxdeouroboros.
Performance improves with higher memory frequency, though the cost might not justify the extra 50-60 dollars. YouTube has many comparisons—searching for videos that highlight the differences is straightforward. Don’t be lazy. Here are the initial charts from around 14:00.

Varies by area, in my country prices are significantly higher.
many mistakenly purchase 3600mhz cl18 kits, thinking their latency matches that of a 3200mhz cl16. getting the cl16 at 3600mhz would cost roughly an extra $12.
