You want 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30/32 or 36. If your primary use is gaming then look at something like a 12400F + B760 + 2x16GB DDR4-3200 CL16 to cut cost.

isnt DDR5 a major upgrade over DDR4?
and 7600 supports only upto ddr5 5200 so a 6000mhz ram makes no sense

For gaming purposes DDR4 is fine. If going with a AM5 gaming build then you want DDR5-6000 CL30/32 or 36.

This site and it's userbase are mostly located in Europe and USA, if you're located outside of these regions then brand and product availability can and will vary due to region. If and when that happens, things that are available to us that are cheaper might not be the same for you...hence a back and forth.

As for the ram, the sweet spot for DDR5 platforms is DDR5-6000MHz with tight latencies and a 2x kit. Anything higher is diminishing returns, either performance wise or you're spending too much for minimal gain. If I were you, I'd add a smaller capacity SSD for the OS, app's and launchers. Then up the capacity of the larger drive for your game's library.

if you going AMD you probably want M5 or X5 as its EXPO.
While its possible the motherboard will have intel XMP profiles, its better to just pick ram that is rated as EXPO

You want two sticks, 2 x 8gb sticks is better than 1 x 16. CPU can access twice as much data from two sticks. It is noticeably slower running on 1 stick. I noticed a few weeks ago when one of mine wasn't seated properly and PC was really slow to just load windows.
