You have several options to consider when selecting memory for your MSI x870e carbon with a Ryzen 9950x. The recommendations include various models from PCPartPicker and Amazon, tailored to your needs.

Only the fourth appears to be optimized for AMD, though I'm uncertain if that matters much.
The variation between 3 and 5 seems to be whether one includes RGB support.
I believe the "Royal" line is aimed at RAM over clockers and might offer more advanced XMP profiles—perhaps the sole distinction between versions.
The final three models are all 6000/CL30, which should make them quite similar if they fit your board.
I assume they’ll perform similarly in everyday use, but I’m not sure about your specific needs.
My main worry is choosing between 64 and 96 options.

Thank you! That was really useful.
The seller on Amazon for the first two items seems untrustworthy, so I'm choosing the expo version instead.

Review the ram QVL list for your motherboard and choose a kit that is confirmed to be tested.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for, use a ram vendor selection app and select a compatible kit.
Below is the list for 9xxx processors.
There doesn’t appear to be any higher than 48gb supported:
