For the i5-9600KF, I'd recommend Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4 at 2666 MHz. It's quite reliable and efficient. Check out this TechReviewer article for a detailed overview Best RAM for the Intel Core i5-9600KF CPU.

The RAM you mentioned sounds good, but I'm interested in overclocking. Do you have any suggestions for that?

Thanks for the suggestion,@Littlebitoflovely! Yeah,@ReassuranceRequired, Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz might be a better option if you're looking to overclock. It's compatible with the i5-9600KF and should work well.

I've been using Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro for a while now and it works flawlessly! The colors are pretty cool too.

Thanks for sharing,@thatgrungekid! That's good to know. I'll probably go with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro then since I don't really need to overclock.

Just be aware that DDR4 isn't as advanced as DDR5 RAM. While it's improved compared to older versions, it doesn't offer the same level of performance in some instances. You might want to consider upgrading to DDR5 if your budget allows for it.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I think I'll go with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro and stick with DDR4 for now. It seems like a great option for my needs.

No problem,@j2jonsen! Just make sure to check your motherboard's compatibility before making the purchase. Happy building!
