DDR4 vs DDR5, Explained
DDR5 doubled the bandwidth and moved power regulation onto the module. Whether that is worth paying for depends entirely on which platform you are building.

T-Force Delta RGB is TeamGroup's illuminated DDR5 line, and a single listing's title doesn't capture the full range sold under that name — this family runs from 5200 up to 6800 depending on the specific kit.
The 2×16GB kit here is rated 6800 MT/s CL34. Capacity spans 16GB up to 64GB, entirely in two-module configurations across this family, and CL32 through CL40 timings mean the rated speed alone doesn't say how tight a given kit actually is — check both figures on the listing.
Every kit in this family carries RGB lighting, and it's unbuffered UDIMM DDR5 for consumer desktop boards.

Flare X5 is a heatspreader-only DDR5-6000 line built for clearance-constrained builds, and within this 6000 MT/s grade every listing shares that one headline speed — the CL bin and capacity are the only things actually separating listings.
FURY Beast at 6000 spans three CL grades under one name plus a four-module 64GB option its 5600 sibling doesn't offer, which makes matching the exact SKU more important here than with most families.
Crucial Pro trades looks for a compatibility-first, overclocking-headroom pitch, and within this 6400 MT/s grade, CAS latency -- not the shared headline speed -- is the number that actually separates one listing from another.
16 GB is no longer comfortable, 32 GB is the sensible default, and 64 GB is a workload decision rather than a future-proofing one.
Capacity avoids stutter caused by running out of memory; speed affects how efficiently the CPU feeds data to the GPU. They solve different problems, and buying enough of the first one before spending on the second is the right order.
