I'm building a new gaming rig featuring the AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D and I'm seeking advice on the best RAM to pair with it. Here are my specific questions: Optimal Speed and Latency: What RAM speed should I aim for? I've seen recommendations for DDR5-6000, but is it worth considering higher speeds like DDR5-6400? Also, how important are the timings, specifically between CL30 and CL36? Capacity Considerations: Is 32GB sufficient for gaming and multitasking, or should I opt for 64GB? What are the advantages of each in terms of performance? Brand Recommendations: Which brands do you recommend for reliability and performance? I've heard good things about G.Skill and Corsair, but I'm open to other suggestions. I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!

I guess the sweet spot of 9000X3D is still DDR5 6000 CL30.

Besides G.Skill, Corsair also has 6000 CL28 DDR5 RAM. https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Vengeance-6000MHz-Compatible-Computer/dp/B0DFMPQJLF

Just go for 6000 CL30 or the new G.Skill CL28. Spend extra money on other things.
