Hi, I made this part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gHmygw. I have everything exept the mobo. The problem is that I can't find a mobo that supports DDR4-3000 memory. If I add a mobo that supports 2400 / 2666 / 2933 / 3200 ram, it doesn't give an error, but the mobo still doesn't support 3000mh ram, so I don't want to buy it. I also don't want to buy 3200mh ram 'cause it's too expensive. PLEASE HELP!
Update: Does the Ryzen 7 1700 even support 3000 or 3200 RAM?
 
Solution
Any of the current motherboards that support 3200Mhz memory, will support your memory using XMP enabled, which will result in the memory runng at 2933mhz, thats how AMD memory configuration works.


Thank you madmatt30! I think this will work better: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B2zYdX. Final things I'd like to know is that if I use 3200mhz ram like in the part list, will it be that fast or slow down? Will I be able to OC my GPU and CPU with this mobo? Do you guys think this ram is believable and not crap?
Update: I decided to use a newer mobo, and since it supports 3000mhz memory, should I use Corsair Vengance LPX 3000mhz kit?
