I'm in the process of building my computer but faced some challenges along the way. Initially, I opted for DDR4 to save on costs, but when RAM prices went up, I found myself needing to make a tough choice. I'm debating whether to spend an extra €30-40 on 32GB of 3600MHz RAM with a CL16 rating, which would set me back about €170, or to play it safe and go with the 3200MHz CL16 32GB option priced at around €140. I've been stuck on this decision for a few days now and would appreciate any advice. For reference, the options I'm considering are Kingston Fury Beast Black 2x16GB DDR4 3200MHz (model KF432C16BB1K2/32) and Kingston Fury Renegade 2x16GB DDR4 3600MHz (model KF436C16RB12K2/32). I'm leaning towards the 3200MHz version. Thanks for your help!

Honestly, I think saving that extra cash might be wiser. You could use the saved money for other components that could enhance your build more significantly. The difference in RAM speed might not be as noticeable in day-to-day use.
Many people say that 3600MHz CL16 is the sweet spot for performance. If you're planning on gaming or doing resource-heavy tasks, that extra speed could be beneficial. Just keep in mind that it depends on what you'll be using your PC for!
I agree! Since you've got more parts to buy, every euro counts.
