I'm looking for some help with selecting RAM during this current market situation where prices are inflated. Is it worth it to invest in the 6000MHz option, or should I save some money and go for the 5600MHz instead? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

I’d recommend aiming for 6000MT/s with CL36 or CL38 if your budget allows. It’s not significantly slower than CL30 but usually much cheaper, which is a bonus in today’s RAM market.
Ultimately, it hinges on the prices you’re seeing for both options. If the price difference isn't too steep, going for 6000MHz might be worth it.
Your choice can really depend on the CPU you're using now or plan to use in the future. For instance, x3d CPUs are typically less dependent on higher MHz thanks to larger caches. If you're running something like a Ryzen 7800X and think about overclocking, opting for premium RAM would definitely help more.
