I have searched the internet for really long, and still cannot find the answer.
So I'm planning to buy ryzen 5 1600 with a msi tomahawk arctic MB, and a pair of 8gb ram sticks.
I'm asking, will these specific ram work with ryzen 5 1600? Corsair Vengeance LPX Black DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz

The answer to this question doesn't depend on what kind of CPU you have. I've used the same memory modules for Intel and AMD.
It depends on the motherboard. You have to know the motherboard model before you can answer what memory works with it.

Get G.Skill or Crucial RAM, edless problems on RyZen with Corsair at the moment.

Have a look at any motherboard that you are interested in, then goto that motherboards website and have a look at the RAM compatability list, that will tell you what they've tried and tested, but if you just want to wing it, then get G.skill Flare X which is configured for AMD rather than Intel.
