I'm building a new PC with a Ryzen 9 9800X3D and a 5070 graphics card, and I'm looking at three 64GB (32x2) RAM kits all rated at 6000MHz. The motherboard will likely be an Asus ROG Strix B850-E. Here are my options, all similarly priced: 1) Kingston Beast RGB with timings of 30-36-36-80, 2) G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo with timings of 30-40-40-96, and 3) another G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo with timings of CL28-36-36-96. Can anyone help me understand how RAM timings affect performance and which one I should choose?

I'd go for the Kingston since it's the cheapest and you probably won't notice any difference in performance. Plus, 32GB is more than enough for gaming!
I appreciate the suggestion, but I have the budget for 64GB right now. I use 3D modeling software for creating clothes, and I also game, so I’d rather future-proof my build.
