What RAM do you currently have? Or are you completely replacing it?

 

If completely replacing it, I'd go with 3200Mhz as Ryzen (especially first gen) loses performance with slower RAM (sub-3000Mhz ish).

 

If just adding more, I'd go for at a minimum the same speed as your current RAM, if not more of the same RAM. The higher clocked RAM will run at a lower speed to match the slower RAM.

If you're going to replace it, I'd definitely go with 3200Mhz (or at least 3000Mhz) RAM.
