Bought some new components, rtx 3080ti and a 5900x. I overclock the videocard as I don't like to keep any performance off the table. I didn't buy new ram, as I am not yet convinced it will make a big difference. At the moment I have Corsair Vengeance pro CL16 3200 mhz, 2 sticks of 8gb, 16gb in total. While using userbenchmark (I know it isn't the best but I could compare ram speed with the earlier components bench) they perform extremely well, around 135% score which is way above what it should be. With the 3700x the RAM would only score around 90%. Moving to the 5900x has somehow made it perform better.

Because of this I am not sure if there's any need to upgrade to a 3600mhz, cl14-16, 32gb of ram yet I want to get the best performance I can from my PC..
Curious to know if there are any other members here that made the switch from 3200 to 3600 and if it's worth it? As I said before I like to have the maxium performance out of my system and I think I'm not getting it with 16gb of cl16 3200.
 
Solution
You could always try overclocking that memory. Tighten the timings or aim for 3600, you never know, it might just do it.
