Memory for Ryzen 5900X

[sashabcro]

Which memory to buy for Ryzen 5900x? I would like to go with 64GB because I do some GameDev as hobby in Unreal Engine 4. GPU is 3080 Ti, PSU RM850x and MBO is ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING. Thank you.

What is your budget and do you want room to expand to 128GB later by getting just 2 sticks now?

There is no budget, but I wouldn't mind going 128GB or even DDR5 later in a year or two.

You won't be able to go DDR5 with Ryzen 5000 series, but if you want the option for 128GB, you'll want to get a 64GB kit of 2x32GB sticks. Unfortunately, such sticks are insanely expensive, especially if you want to get high speed with low timings. Trident Z Neo 3600 CL16 2x32GB is going for $500 right now on Amazon. You can save a bit with CL18 for $400. For development, the bandwidth is generally more important than the latency anyway, at least during compilation and builds.
