I just built my own PC and everything went smoothly, but I feel like I settled for lower-quality RAM. My setup includes a 7600x CPU and a 6750xt GPU. I found a used 5200MHz RAM with 40 CL for $60, but I'm considering an upgrade to a 6000MHz RAM with 32 CL for double the price. Would the performance gain be significant enough to warrant this upgrade? Would it be a good investment? I have an extra $70 in my budget and I'm planning to sell my old RAM.

To be honest, RAM prices can be pretty steep where you are. A 32GB 6000 CL30 kit shouldn't be priced over $120, so you might want to double-check the availability or look for better deals.
Upgrading to 6000MHz CL30 RAM could give you about a 5% performance boost in CPU-limited games. Whether that's worth the price is up to you! The cheapest kit I found is around $106 in Sweden. Just weigh how much that improvement means for your gaming experience.
Yeah, I think I might've underestimated the costs here. The cheapest I've spotted in Sweden is actually $130 for that kit.
