Hey PC builders! Just picked up a Ryzen 5 9600X for my new build and need advice on RAM. Looking for 32GB with good performance without breaking the bank.
Is 3600MHz still the sweet spot for Ryzen, or should I go higher with the 9000 series? DDR5 is obviously the way to go, but the price/speed options are overwhelming.
Currently considering G.Skill Trident Z5 and Corsair Vengeance, but open to other suggestions. Also wondering about CL timings - how much difference will I notice between CL36 and tighter timings?
My use case: gaming, streaming, and occasional video editing. Thanks for your suggestions!

DDR5 6000 CL30 is the sweet spot. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=DDR5+6000+CL30&tag=7649-20

I've been running my 9600X with G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 CL30 (32GB kit) and it's been rock solid. The Neo series is specifically optimized for AMD and I got it running at rated speeds with just enabling XMP. Haven't had any stability issues and saw nice performance gains in both gaming and productivity work compared to my old DDR4 setup.
