Going to buy some HyperX Pred Black 64GB kit 3600MHz VS 3200MHz for my X570 Steel Legend WiFi ax with a Ryzen 7 3800X

Would 3200 MHz be okay or should I get 3600 MHz? Any other RAM you recommend??

Except for the price, the difference between 3200 and 3600 is not really noticeable.

Tight timings deliver more than speed.
With 3200Mhz 14-14-14-31 the *calculated* latency is 8.75ns
With 3600Mhz, you will have to get to 15 timing to beat that.
And will pay dearly for the privilege.
