I'm building my first PC and I'm seeing a lot of different RAM frequencies available. I'm specifically looking for 16GB (2x8) of DDR5 for my setup, and I'm using the R5 7600X processor. I've heard that the RAM frequency is important, so I want to know how to choose the right one basically.

If I were you, I'd stick with a 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30 setup. It really gives you good performance for the money.
For AMD builds, 6000MHz RAM is popular because it’s the highest frequency that typically works without manual adjustments. Just make sure to find a kit with low CAS latency for better performance.
You might want to look into DDR5 6000 CL30. It’s generally considered the best value for your CPU. Anything faster may not give you much of a performance boost in gaming, and slow RAM won't save much on your wallet either.
I’d recommend going for the cheapest DDR5-6000 CL30 kit you can find. It’s fast enough without needing any manual tweaks and usually pretty affordable.
