Which ram for 5900X?
That's not assured, particularly with certain lower tiers on Zen. It really comes down to the price gap and whether you're willing to take the chance and not reach 3600. It doesn't seem worth the gamble for a 5900x thought.
cas latency improvement varies based on your needs. It can be beneficial for gaming in specific cases and useful for work tasks. The gap between a cl16 3200 and cl16 3600 models is roughly 2-3%, especially if the price difference is around 40 USD. If your build costs 2k USD, it comes down to whether the gain justifies the investment. I've encountered issues trying to significantly overclock cl16 3000/3200 kits.
It is some premium build.. I will buy 64GB so.. but 4000 CL18 costs 100$ more than 3200 CL14
Choose the Cl14 3200 model and keep it at its original price if you have 64GB of storage.
Select a motherboard by reviewing its QVL and purchase any components available. Ignoring this step could lead to issues with running memory at the claimed speed, forcing you to spend a lot of time adjusting the BIOS. Adhering strictly to the QVL is essential, especially if you intend to fill all high-density, high-frequency memory slots.
