Should I get a 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 kit or stick with a cheaper DDR4 kit?

Get the 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 kit. It’s the best value under $200 and outperforms a $100 DDR4 kit in most games, especially on AM5 or newer Intel platforms. In CPU-bound games like Escape from Tarkov or CS2, you’ll see 10-15% more frames. Just make sure you’re building new—if you already have a DDR4 board, stick with it.
