im ordering my new Ryzen 7 1700 in a few days along with a Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 board and a Corsair Vengance LED 16GB.
What is worrying me that i cant find this specific ram anywhere on the mobo RAM support sheet and i dont know if its gonna work or not.
ive seen a video where Bitwit on youtube built a full Ryzen build with this ram and this board but on some other forums people saying it wont boot.

Please someone tell me if this is gonna work or not together.

Should i buy it or not is my question

We´re on the same boat. The difference is that I have already ordered the same parts bitwit has used on his build. I´ll be able to give you a solid response in 10 days, when the parts finally arrive, so let´s keep our fingers crossed. I have even asked if he was able to run those RAMs on stock speed but without any answer from him. The RAM I ordered was model CMU16GX4M2C3000C15 which means 3000mhz speed (as I said, same from his video. the one on the link you provided is 2666mhz and might not work based on bitwit video).
While I was looking for cheap B350 boards, I came across MSI Gaming Pro (a cheaper mobo without crossfire support) and in their quality vendors list you can see the CMU32GX4M4C3200C16, same RAM but with 3200mhz speed is supported. Here is the link https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-GAMING-PRO.html#support-mem

LONG STORY SHORT: If you like Corsair LED memory aesthetics and want to trust a youtuber build, go with Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 and 3000mhz LED model. If you want to trust a manufacturer QVL, go with MSI Gaming Pro but 3200mhz LED model.

Hey ive already built my Ryzen build and didn't go with the LED kit, i dunno i didn't wanna go into the hassle of exchanging kits if it didn't work. I got a 16gb corsair vengeance LPX 16gb (4x4gb).

I´ve seen a lot of people struggling with x4 RAM kits. The safest bet, at least for now is to go with two sticks.
