I'm building a new PC with a 9800X3D and considering a Kingston Fury 32GB kit of DDR5 RAM. The 5600 CL36 kit fits my budget, but I see a lot of recommendations for the 6000 CL30 version. There's a $45 difference in price, and I'm wondering if the faster RAM is really worth it for this CPU. Would I be fine with the 5600 CL36, or is the upgrade essential for better performance? I'm a bit over budget and would love to hear your thoughts on this!

You might want to check out some performance comparisons online. Generally, many benchmarks show that the difference at 1440p isn't significant. However, people tend to recommend the 6000 CL30 for a reason—there might be benefits not immediately evident in games.
Yeah, I watched some benchmarks too, and it seems the performance is pretty similar. But since everyone advises the 6000, I'm wondering if there are long-term perks.
