I'm looking for some guidance on RAM for my setup. I have a Ryzen 7 5700 processor and an RX 9060 XT graphics card, but I have limited knowledge in this area. Ideally, I'd like to find a good RAM option for under €60, probably 2x8GB configuration. I came across the "Lexar SODIMM 2x8GB DDR5 RAM 5600MHz" but saw some bad reviews online about Lexar. Can someone help me determine if this RAM is actually decent or suggest a better alternative?

Just a heads up, you can't actually use DDR5 with the Ryzen 7 5700, nor can you use SODIMM memory, which is for laptops. You need DDR4 RAM. I recommend looking at options like the G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200, which is around €35.90. It's a solid choice and should work great with your setup! You can check it out on PCPartPicker.
Could you clarify? Why can't I use DDR5?
