I'm considering purchasing the Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) 5600MHz DDR5 C36 RAM which is currently priced at $125. Given that RAM prices have skyrocketed recently, do you think it's a good idea to buy it now or should I wait for prices to potentially come down? I have an AMD 5 7500F processor, and I'm wondering about the best choice for performance.

Honestly, I'd advise checking other sources for a price comparison, but from what I've seen, many recommend DDR5-6000 MHz RAM as a minimum to get the most out of your setup. That's what I installed in my wife's build, and it works great!
Honestly, I would suggest going for a 6000 CL30 RAM kit. The lower speeds won't really cut it for your setup!
The 5600MHz RAM is okay, but it's a bit slow. You might want to look into DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM, since it typically performs better. Don't stress too much about brands; if the specs are similar, they'll work similarly. In terms of pricing, how much more are you looking at for a better option?
Just a heads up, AMD CPUs don’t typically handle four sticks of RAM well, especially at higher speeds and larger capacities. Stick to a dual-channel setup for better performance!
Good to know! I'll keep it to two sticks.
Thanks for the tip! I found a 6000MHz option for $150. Is it worth the extra $70?
