I understand the value of quick RAM for Ryzen, but upgrading further won't make much of a difference. You're already using 32GB at 3200MHz CL14 DDR4, and you haven't upgraded recently. The RTX3090 won't help much either.

You could achieve a slight boost in some tasks, though the gains are usually modest. With a 5900X you won't notice much improvement (beyond what you'd see with a 5800X). If you already have a 3200MT/s CL14 system, simply increase your RAM speed. This setup is solid and you should be able to reach around 3800MT/s CL16-16-16-21 without major issues, pushing the infinity fabric to its limits for optimal speed. Keep in mind that 3200MT/s CL14 performance is heavily influenced by manufacturing variations, and some kits have reached as high as 3600MT/s CL14 with stable voltages or even up to 4666MT/s CL16.

It wouldn't be worth the cost. Going for 3200 to 3600 might leave you with CL16, but you'd still get the benefits of upgrading to 3600.

It would only influence the speed of the RAM, leaving all other aspects unchanged.
