my motherboard in question (asrock b450 pro4) can run a max speed of 3200mhz. my thinking it would be smart to future proof myself my getting a kit of 3200mhz, and if it cant handle it properly, just, downgrade the speed, until i can upgrade. just makes it so its one less thing i have to think about

would this mess with the system or speed due to it being optimized for 3rd gen Ryzen?

I'm getting new ram soon, with my budget being $160 AUD ($109USD). my currently ram is Team T-Force Dark 3000MHz 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4. I would like to upgrade to 16GB, but get 2 completely new sticks of 8GB from a brand more reputable and available in Australia such as G.skill or Corsair. Any suggestions? My current processor is the Ryzen 2600, with plans to upgrade to the next gen in the distant future when the price goes down. is it worth getting the G.skill trident Z Neo if i go down that route, as it is optimized for 3rd gen ryzen processors, future proofing me in a sense? or will this bottleneck my system with my second gen processor? also what would be the recommend speed to get? would it be better to get higher speeds such as 3200MHz or 3600MHz, and just manually lowering the speed, until i get some better parts, again, future-proofing, or am i thinking to ahead here? any thoughts or suggestions?
