16GB DDR5 beats 32GB DDR4 for gaming.

Yes, take the DDR5 kit.

DDR5-6000 CL30 is fast enough that the lower latency and higher bandwidth matter more than having double the RAM in most games. 16GB is still the sweet spot for gaming right now – very few titles need more. And DDR5 motherboards give you an upgrade path to 32GB later when prices drop or you actually need it.

32GB DDR4 is nice for heavy multitasking (streaming, modding, running VMs while gaming), but if you’re just gaming, the DDR5 will give you noticeably better frame times and 1% lows. You’re not losing anything meaningful by going with 16GB, and you’re future-proofing the whole platform.

Don’t overthink this one.
