I will build a gaming pc which is a budget one
but when i look at the compatibility at the ram for the motherboard, i will use a value ram because ram is costly these days, the support site said G.Skill F4-2400C15D-8GNT, while my ram is Gskill 8GB 8GBx1 DDR4 2400 C15 (F4-2400C15S-8GNT), is it gonna be compatible?

That should not be a problem as it is a slight modification of the same variant.
But, there are a couple of suggestions here.
> Ryzen performs better with faster memory due to its Infinity Fabric architecture. AMD recommends 2666mhz and above and the sweet spot is around 3000mhz. Also on a dual channel platform, running dual channel will be more optimal.
> Get a b350 board as you cannot O that chip on a a320 chipset. This can hamper performance down the line when you will need it.
> A SSD can vastly improve performance for that build.

Firstly, buy a B350 motherboard - A320 isn't really meant for gaming PC's of this level.

Secondly, overkill PSU - Corsair CX550 or SeaSonic S12II 520 W will be enough, unless electricity is expensive in your area, then it is fine.

Finally, the RAM will work, but maybe try for 2666 MHz instead, because the extra RAM speed does impact performance with Ryzen chips. But yes, the one you are buying will also work just fine.

I guess ill just change it to Seasonic m12ii evo for the power supply and Gigabyte GA-AB350M-HD3 for the mobo but im considering the Gigabyte GA-AB350M-GAMING-3 or MSI B350M Mortar since they are almost the same price, but if you have more recommendation im all ears, thanks for answering!

ssd is pretty costly maybe ill try to buy one in the future, ram prices here is still pretty high it will cost about 1/4 of my build if i considered the 3000mhz speed, Gigabyte GA-AB350M-GAMING-3 is my chosen motherboard for 350, but if you have any more recommendation im all ears! thanks for answering!
