HI,
I made my PC about 4 months ago:

Ryzen 5 1600
MSI B450M Pro-M2
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2400
MSI Radeon RX 560 4GB
EVGA BQ 500W 80+ Bronze

I was thinking about upgrading eventually to a 2600X, with a RX580 8GB, and a B450 Tomahawk, or a X470-f gaming. I heard dual RAM sticks are preferred for Ryzen CPU's, and I was wondering if I should just get a new set of DDR4 3000's or 3200's rather than another 2400. Thoughts? Just needed a second opinion so I don't make a wrong decision, or rush into something like I did prior.
 
Solution
That MB is good enough for 2600X But if you need more features, want to OC or make sure it's all compatible with next gen Ryzen, then x470 chipset is way to go,
RAM, well, 2x8GB of 3200MHz would satisfy you for long time,
For RX580 8GB you may need stronger PSU, 650W for instance.

I did run by a PSU calculator with the plans I had and it recommended 492W so I assumed I was fine to get a new PSU later as I don't really iffy on whether or not I plan on OCing. I also did hear the pros and cons of a B450 and X470 and as said I wasn't sure for the future if I planned on OCing so I went with the one that's $100 cheaper on the market for me at the moment. I also did hear the X470-f could be very unstable and wasn't sure if I wanted to step up to a Taichi
