What are the top recommended RAM kits for Ryzen and Core CPUs because honestly I am so overwhelmed and dont want to buy the wrong thing for my first build! I finally saved up about $1600 here in Chicago and I'm ready to pull the trigger this weekend but the more I read about memory the more my head hurts lol. Like I see people talking about DDR4 versus DDR5 and then there are these numbers like 3200mhz or 6000mhz and something called CL30 or CL16 and I just have no idea what any of it actually means for me. I just want the best performance for my money without breaking anything.

I think I am going with the Ryzen 7800X3D because everyone says its the best for gaming right now and I really want to play Cyberpunk on high settings but then I saw a video saying Intel CPUs like the i7 or i9 need different RAM speeds to work right? Or maybe they dont? Its all so confusing. I just want something that is fast and wont crash my computer while I am playing. I saw some G.Skill ones that look cool and have the rainbow lights which I definitely want because it makes the setup look faster haha but is there a specific brand that is better for Ryzen than for Intel Core?

My budget for the RAM specifically is maybe $120 to $150 if that helps. I just dont want to spend a fortune but I also dont want to buy the cheapest stuff if it means my games will lag. Also do I need 16gb or 32gb?? Some people say 16 is fine but then others say you need 32 for the newer games coming out next year like GTA 6 eventually. Sorry if these are really basic questions I am just really excited to finally stop playing on my old laggy laptop and get a real desktop going. If anyone could just tell me exactly which box to buy from Amazon or Microcenter that would be amazing because I am staring at like fifty different options and they all look the same to me...
