I'm putting together a new system with an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU and need guidance on choosing the best RAM to pair with it. I want to take full advantage of the Ryzen's performance. What speed RAM works best with Ryzen 9700X? Is low latency or higher frequency more important? Are there compatibility concerns I should be aware of? What's the ideal capacity - 16GB, 32GB or more?
