I have all these parts and I'm about to assemble. I just now realize that the mobo only supports up to 3200mhz. Does that mean this RAM just wont run over 3200mhz or does that mean the RAM won't work in this computer? Thanks.

It says DDR4 3200(OC)+/ 2933(OC)/ 2667(OC)/ 2400/ 2133/ 1866 notice the 3200(OC)+ which means it can go higher but you should check the ram that supports this motherboard and you might have to manually overclock it in bios but you should be fine. ps buy a evga power supply thats 1200watts. Power supplies reach peak efficiency at half usage.
