Rephrase your request using a range around 3600 or 3800.

Avoid sticking to 3600, aim for a lower CAS. Also, look into IMC silicone lottery; most chips won’t work at 4000 with 1:1 Infinity fabric.

What’s the top model you’re using right now with a 3200, and what upgrades are you considering for more RAM?

Consider enhancing or swapping... I’d go with 3200 MHz if available, and maintain the same manufacturer.

I favor G.Skill. I'm using two sets of 3200C14.

I've been using G.Skill memory for about twelve years now with no problems. I've mixed in Corsair and Crucial products. Right now I'm running a 32GB Crucial Ballistix RGB kit, which includes 16GB of DDR4-3600 CL18 modules (BL2K16G36C16U4BL). I believe this exact configuration is no longer available.

I don't believe the jump from 3200 to 3600 is worthwhile; the performance gain isn't significant enough. Have you purchased the 5800X? It's not a good investment for gaming, as the 5700X offers similar results at a lower price.

I purchased the 5800x for 170 on eBay. I've been using it, but a new game is releasing in February. With 16 gigabytes, I need 32 and plan to upgrade my GPU. My decision was between buying another 3200 or switching to a better brand, but I'm not sure. I've already spent a lot on this setup and am getting frustrated with the cost.

Suggested setup involves a 3200/3600 MHz processor and tightening performance to its limits, especially since the memory controller reaches its maximum in Ryzen systems.
