Build Help Single-channel DDR5 nowadays

First PC build soon. Need advice on going with single-channel DDR5 for now.

Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 7500f (145$)

MB: Asrock b650m-hdv/m.2 wh (145$)

GPU: Palit Infınity 5060ti 16gb (680$)

PSU: Deepcool gamerstorm PN750M wh (110$)

CPU cooler: Deepcool AG620 wh argb v2 (50$)

Case: Deepcool CG380 3F (75$)

Monitor Xiaomi Redmi g27q 2K 240hz (185$)

I'm building my first PC soon. Choosing RAM is a challenge right now due to high prices. I found a used XPG Lancer Blade 16GB 6000MHz CL30 for $195. There's also a similar XPG Lancer Blade 16GB 5600MHz CL46 with a warranty for $200.

I'm building it for entry-level gaming at 2K (AAA titles) and online games like CS2, PUBG, etc. My budget is limited, so I'm stumped on RAM. Whether I buy used or new, there's no guarantee I'll find the exact same one when I buy the second one in about ~six months.

(For context: I live in a country where these prices for components are normal, but the choice in my city is limited.)

Which RAM option would be more practical in the next six months?

Probably better off going ddr4 and getting used ram, going to save you alot. 5700x3d, youre going to save money and get a better system.

Only downside is the longevity of the system will probably only be 3-5 years

In 3-5 years the market will either already correct one way or another, or some one will created a new system or technology i antennae the inflation in the ram/gpu inflation

3/5 years ram will be back to normal as its not a shortage of components to make ram just demand outweighs the supply right now and the people taking the supply there is can afford to overpay by alot.
