I saw a ryzen 1700 priced same as 2600 and I was wondering if it's a good pair for a 1700 and B450 mobo. I'm a bit confused tho if the B450 AORUS pro motherboard will be compatible with a 3200 g skill trident z RGB ram. :V

Ryzen 7 1700 will work out-of-the-box with B450 AORUS Pro.

The memory kit will work, but given that the IMC on 1st gen Ryzen has difficulty hitting high memory frequency beyond 2666 MHz, I doubt it will operate at the rated 3200 MHz.

What's IMC? 

Alsoooo maybe if I update my bios I can run at least 3,000 MHz.

Integrated Memory Controller. A circuit that manages communication between CPU and memory.

AGESA 1.0.0.6 enabled overclocking up to DDR4-4000 and all 2nd gen chipset already has that build in. Theoretically it should be able to hit 3000 MHz. (My bad, totally forgot you were to use that in conjunction with a 2nd gen board, thought you were using a 1st gen board that may need a BIOS update)

But memory compatibility differs board to board, ram stick to ram stick. You better try it out yourself when you got your hand on that combo.

You mileage may vary. Good luck.
