Hi im planning to buy these setup but still confused on what ram should i use

Ryzen 5 1600 6
MSI B350 Tomahawk Arctic
Team Delta 2x8gb 2400 16gb (TDTWD416G2400HC15ADC01)
Seasonic S12II 520watts 80+ Bronze
GTX 1050 G1 Gaming OC
WDC Blue 1tb
NZXT Source 340|S340

I pick Team Delta because this is the only one available and its listed on the support RAM list of MSI website. But as you know Ryzen loves to run on higher mhz so i need help about the ram. Thank you!

You want documented ram compatibility. If you should ever have a problem, you want supported ram.
Otherwise, you risk a finger pointing battle between the ram and motherboard support sites, claiming "not my problem".
One place to check is your motherboards web site.
Look for the ram QVL list. It lists all of the ram kits that have been tested with that particular motherboard.
Sometimes the QVL list is not updated after the motherboard is released.
For more current info, go to a ram vendor's web site and access their ram selection configurator.
Enter your motherboard, and you will get a list of compatible ram kits.
While today's motherboards are more tolerant of different ram, it makes sense to buy ram that is known to work and is...

If there is other ram that is if interest to you check it out for compatibility at the ram makers web site.

IN particular, ryzen seems to be very picky about ram so be careful.
