I'm considering purchasing a Kingston FURY Beast 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 MT/s CL36 kit for $240. I currently have T-Force Vulcan DDR5-6000 CL38 installed. How well will the Kingston RAM work with what I already have, and do you think it's worth the investment? Also, I'm eyeing a 4TB WD BLACK SN850X for $319—thoughts on that as well?

Mixing RAM brands usually works fine, but keep in mind that you might not be able to achieve the CL36 timings and might have to settle for CL38 or possibly even slower. I had a similar setup once with a 3950x and found it tricky running four sticks at the maximum speed, so just something to watch out for!
Are you getting the extra RAM for gaming or for production tasks? If it's mainly for production, especially for handling large datasets like in ArcGIS, the additional memory could definitely help. Just make sure to check compatibility when mixing brands!
