I am building a new pc and I just ordered the ryzen 7 1700. I don't plan on overclocking it until I get enough money to buy a decent cooler. What ram speed will work? Also will I need to adjust the version of the bios on the motherboard to make it compatible with the cpu?

Part List

GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming (Motherboard)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz (Ram)
ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-fan OC Edition (Gpu)
 
Solution
At stock, AMD recommends the following DDR4 RAM speeds. (anything higher may not work, is considered OC)

rank= rows of memory on ram chip

2 sticks, each stick has 1 rank -> 2666 MHz
2 sticks, each stick has 2 rank -> 2400 MHz
4 sticks, each stick has 1 rank -> 2133 MHz
4 sticks, each stick has 2 rank -> 1866 MHz
