I'm building my first PC and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the RAM choices out there. I'm planning to buy Corsair Vengeance DDR5 2x16, but I'm unsure which frequency I should go for. My build is mid-range, and here's the link for reference: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4LfYZc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

For your setup, I’d recommend going with 6000 MT/s CL30. It's the sweet spot for AM5 systems. If you want a bit more flexibility, you can also look at 6000-6400 MT/s CL28 to CL36, but CL30 is solid for stability.
6000 MT/s with CL30 is definitely where you want to be for stability. It will work perfectly with your mid-range build.
Also, a heads up about your SSD choice. The P3 Plus uses QLC flash, which isn't the best for durability. I'd suggest upgrading to a TLC SSD like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or WD Blue SN580 instead for better performance long-term.
Just to clarify, MT is actually MHz x 2, right?
