Ryzen 2600 Compatibility

Hi guys, I'just bought this CPU and MoBo combo from OCUK:

My basket at overclockers uk:

1 x AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600 3.90GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £158.99
1 x Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi AMD X470 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £239.99

Total: £409.48 (includes shipping: £10.50)

However I currently have the following RAM from G Skill:

It doesn't seem like any Ryzen model is on the QVL for this RAM, would it be worth buying another set or should I just try my current set out? And if I should buy another set, could anyone recommend a similar set to the one posted above?

Many thanks in advance!

Should be fine. Very few modules end up on the QVL list.

Make sure the bios is on the latest version, but you should be golden.

3200c16 ram tends to be Hynix based which will generally not be stable above 2933c16 on Ryzen but newer bios and tweaking can sometimes improve on this. 3200c14 ram is normally bdie based which performs better on Ryzen normally running at 3200c14 or higher but it does depend on cpu lottery a bit.
