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?

DDR5 6000 with CL30 is the best choice.

The sweet spot for Ryzen 9000 series is DDR5 6400.

The G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal kit with 7200MT/s speeds is among the fastest DDR5 RAM available if you want maximum performance. The XPG Lancer RGB DDR5 32GB 7200 MHz CL34 is another excellent high-performance option running at 1.4V. These premium kits are perfect if you're doing heavy content creation or want to future-proof your build.
