Memory
Working memory. The machine keeps open programs, game assets, and timeline caches here. Too little RAM makes everything stutter; extra RAM sits unused.

Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32 GB
The default AM5 kit. 32 GB at 6000 CL30 is the Ryzen sweet spot.

Faster kit for Intel and tuned Ryzen. Diminishing returns above 6000 on AM5.

The right kit if you are staying on AM4 or LGA 1700 DDR4 boards.
