My very first build and I think i've made a mistake.
Ive bought,a AMD RYZEN 5 2400G Quad-Core 3.6 GHz (3.9 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 65W YD2400C5FBBOX Desktop Processor and a
MSI X470 GAMING PRO AM4 AMD X470 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard. I then got G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GVRB which was on sale for a pretty good price. My issue is that i'm no longer confident that my RAM will work with the Ryzen 5. Any help would be great

It should work. Ryzen 1 motherboards were somewhat picky about RAM used, but hopefully those issues has been solved before Ryzen 2 motherboards appeared. Either way, if you already have this RAM you are free to try it - nothing bad can happen even if it will not work.

Motherboard supported frequencies : 2933, 2800, 1866, 2667, 2666, 3000, 3200, 2133, 2400, 3466, 3066MHz /DDR4
Your RAM Frequency : 3200MHz /DDR4
It will work :>
Even if the frequency would be different that those supported ones then still they would get automaticly de-clocked to the maximal supported value. Henceforth as long as the RAM is DDR? and your motherboard supports DDR? its fine.
And futhermore if you still dont know if you can put them in then i inform you that RAM sticks are idiot-proof.
Every "generation" have a slightly different "hole in the pins" so you wouldnt be able to put for example DDR2 stick to DDR4 slot.

Thank you so much for the answer, you've made it sound much simpler than I thought it was. Thanks again.
