Question DDR5 for gaming PC with i5-13600k

[Spellbreak]

Hello guys,
I'm building new PC for gaming and I would say I have decided on the main parts, but not RAM. I have limited knowledge about it and have no idea which one to pick. I would like to go with DDR5 2x16GB or 2x32GB, non-RGB. Budget for RAM around 200 EUR.

GPU: ASUS 4070Ti TUF
CPU: i5-13600k
MB: ASUS Z790-Plus TUF

Currently looking at three brands G.Skill Trydent Z5, Crucial or Corsair Vengeance.

you should aim for at least 6000MHz cl36 as a bare minimum (cl 32 would be even better but they are more expensive)
it really depends on the price as well , sometimes you can find even 6400MHz cl32 for good price .

here are some examples of what you should be aiming for:

Type|Item|Price
:----|:----|:----
Memory | G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory | $159.99 @ Newegg
Memory | G.Skill Trident Z 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory | $147.99 @ Newegg
Memory | G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory | $134.99 @ Newegg
| Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts |
| Total | $442.97

That mobo seems to come in ddr4 and ddr5 flavor so make sure of which one your looking at.

Thank you for the information.
In that case, how about this bundle? Is it worth it or it is better to take the CPU separately with a better RAM?
Honestly I'm still trying to decide between Intel and AMD. I know that 1700 socket will be discontinued, but AM5 not.
