If RAM speeds affect Ryzen performance then I'd go with the fastest memory, within reasonable price, that the motherboard supports.

They are still working out the memory compatibility.
2666 is the limit on a lot of the BIOS releases right now, but some, like ASUS, have released updates to some of their high end boards already that support up to 3200Mhz memory reliably. The Infinity Fabric (CCX to CCX communication) does apparently scale with memory speed, so it actually makes a big difference the faster it is.
Right now, the major review sites have more information on what works than the general population. It will take a while for that to trickle down.

Ill link this QVL for my motherboard and you can take a look,

I cant find any 8gb kits with good speeds. What if i like go with this
https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/8GB-G-Skill-RipJaws-4-schwarz-DDR4-3200-DIMM-CL16-Dual-Kit_1010082.html
And see if they will support it later on

I'd say the faster the better. Ryzen CPUs seem to be quite RAM speed hungry with noticeable differences at faster speeds.
If you motherboard can already support 3200 (or more), great. If it can't, it might with a future BIOS update. Even if it doesn't, the RAM will still work, just clocked at the fastest speed the motherboard will support. It's a better option imo than buying slower RAM, receiving a BIOS update that supports the faster RAM speeds, then having to replace the RAM if you want the performance boost.
