Good morning! I'm planning to upgrade my processor to a 9800x3D and have a question regarding my RAM. I currently have 32GB of DDR5 running at 5600 CL36. Should I stick with this or invest in DDR5 6000 CL30? The new RAM would cost me about $200, but if the performance difference is minimal, I'd prefer to just keep my existing RAM and save some cash. Any thoughts?

If you've already got the 5600 CL36 RAM, it's a no-brainer to keep using it. The speed difference is minimal—sure, 6000 CL30 will be a tad faster, but the X3D CPUs aren't heavily reliant on RAM speed for gaming.
Thanks! This saves me some money. Honestly, this upgrade feels a bit unnecessary since I'm frustrated by getting under 300 frames in CS2 with my 13700K anyway!
