If you are on an AM4 or Intel 12th-gen platform, DDR4 is still fast enough for all current games. The real gains from DDR5 come from higher bandwidth workloads — video editing, 3D rendering, and AI inference.
For pure gaming the money is better spent on a GPU. But if you are building from scratch today, AM5 DDR5 is the correct long-term choice.
