I'm planning to upgrade my setup from AM4 to AM5, and I found a great deal on RAM. I'm considering a Corsair 64 GB (32 x 2) 5200 MHz kit for about $360 or a 32 GB (16 x 2) 6400 MHz kit, also for $360. There's another similar 32 GB kit with EXPO support priced at $475. I'm going with a Ryzen 9 9950X and an ASUS ProArt X870E Creator. My primary uses are gaming, software development, and 3D rendering. I've heard that RAM speed doesn't matter much with specific CPUs, but I'm curious if I should prioritize capacity over speed and how significant low-speed RAM might be for my needs.

I'd suggest going for the faster 32 GB option. Your CPU and motherboard will support high-speed RAM, which can really enhance performance. For most uses, including gaming and light 3D rendering, 32 GB should be more than enough unless you're diving deep into heavy applications like Blender.
