I'm building a new gaming PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and I'm looking for some advice on choosing the right RAM. I want to get the best performance possible for gaming and some light content creation work.
What RAM speed and timings would you recommend for this CPU? Is it worth going for higher-end DDR5 memory or should I stick with DDR4? Also, how much RAM should I get - 16GB, 32GB, or more?
Any suggestions on specific RAM kits that would work well with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D would be greatly appreciated!

6000mt/s and cl30 is the sweet spot for Ryzen 7 7800X3D, for example: G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series

I recommend choosing a high-performance DDR5 memory kit with the following specifications:
-
Speed: DDR5-6000 or higher. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D supports DDR5 memory, and higher frequencies can provide better performance. Look for kits rated at DDR5-6000, DDR5-6400, or even higher if your budget allows.
-
Capacity: 32GB (2x16GB) is a good starting point for most users. If you have more demanding needs, like heavy content creation or virtualization, consider 64GB (2x32GB or 4x16GB).
-
Timings: Look for kits with tight timings, such as CL36 or lower, for better performance at a given frequency.
-
Compatibility: Ensure that the RAM kit is compatible with your motherboard by checking its Qualified Vendor List (QVL).
Some well-regarded options include:
- G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 CL36
- Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5-6400 CL38
- Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 CL40
Remember to enable the XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) in your BIOS to run the memory at its rated speed. Also, keep in mind that higher-frequency and lower-latency kits may come at a premium price.
