I came across a Crucial Pro RAM with a speed of 6400MT/s and a latency of CL38 priced at €180. Is this a good deal, or should I look for something different?

When you calculate latency, the difference between 6400MHz CL38 (about 11.875 ns) and 6000MHz CL36 (around 12 ns) isn't huge. You might be fine with the higher speed, but the lower latency option could be better for gaming.
Yeah, CL38 is considered a bit high for what you're looking for. I'd recommend hunting down a 6000MHz CL36 option instead. It's usually a solid balance for performance and price.
If you're comparing speeds, a 6000MHz CL30 would perform even better, with around 6% more FPS in some cases. Just keep in mind the price difference.
