I'm building a new PC with the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and I'm trying to decide on the best RAM for it. I plan to use the system primarily for gaming and some content creation. Should I prioritize higher frequency RAM like 6000MHz, or is a slightly lower frequency like 5600MHz with better timings (lower CL) a better choice?

I've been running G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 CL30 with my 7600X and it's been rock solid. The sweet spot for Zen 4 seems to be DDR5-6000 with tight timings. Make sure to enable EXPO in BIOS for the optimized timings.

For the 7600X, you'll want DDR5 since that's what AM5 supports. I'm running 32GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 CL30 and it's been rock solid. The sweet spot for Zen 4 seems to be DDR5-6000 with tight timings - you get great performance without pushing the memory controller too hard. Make sure whatever you get is on your motherboard's QVL list to avoid compatibility headaches.
