I'm looking for a good motherboard and ram to pair with the ryzen 5 1600. There are a lot of options and the guide on this website seems to be a bit outdated.

I do want to overclock and I heard that faster ram really helps out this processor. It will be used for business and some gaming. I am looking for value though as I'm trying not to spend too much.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The board comes with lots of VRM and power phases for better overclocking potential. Ryzen has been proven to work better with GSKill units having Samsung B die chip... https://www.toptengamer.com/best-ram-amd-ryzen-5-7-cpu/

G.Skill has recently created a couple of lines of RAM designed specifically for Ryzen.... Flare X and Fortis.

I recently bought the 2400 MHz Flare X RAM for my Ryzen 3 1200 system. It worked flawlessly out of the box.

My Ryzen 7 1700 system uses Corsair Vengeance RAM. I had to play with the timings to get it just right, but it otherwise works well also.

As for a motherboard; what are your requirements? I really like the ASRock AB350 Pro4. It has 3 PWM case fan headers and two M.2 slots. I specifically wanted to boot from a NVMe drive. I recommend this board heartily. But when I went to build a mATX system, I switched to the msi B350 Mortar Arctic. I would have stayed with the ASRock line, but their mATX offering only had one 4-pin case fan header. I have been pleased with the Mortar Arctic as well.
