Solution
X series chips are generally just higher clocked versions of non x chips.

For example, a R5 2600 has a 3.9 boost but the R5 2600x has a 4.2ghz boost.

All Ryzen skews are unlocked and ready for overclocking.

Any AM4 motherboard supports overclocking as long as it is not the a320 chipset.

I would reccomend a MSI B450 tomahawk/tomahawk max for overclocking, however a cheaper ASRock B450m pro 4 will also be a strong board and is generally very well priced around $75.
HyperX 3200 MHz 2x8 kits often sells for 1500k and I don't think you need to pay more than that. You can be cheap like me. Get the RAM I got some time ago, the ADATA D30 3000 MHz. It's only 1.100k. If you get lucky, you can tweak it a little bit. If you don't feel confident then the HyperX would be a better option.
damn, i can't seem to find any store online who sells that hyperx 8x2 kits. where did you buy them?
if i can't find any store that sell them,, maybe i'll go with corsair vengeance lpx 3200 8x2 for 1.650k
